Progression Through Time:
The Digital Age of Technology

Technology is a human endeavor, constructed to make life easier.  It includes the advances in the production of devices or new applications of existing devices that change the way people do things.

Young people are often unaware of the significance of their technological heritage and how important technological change has been in influencing the lives of people in the 20th century and beyond.  The technological developments of the 20th century occurred on a scale and at a pace never before experienced.  Through our project we will attempt to show how advances in technology have changed the way people lead their day-to-day lives.  We will highlight the changes that have occurred from the time students grandparents were teenagers, to their parents, and finally themselves.  We will also discuss the differences between our countries during those time frames.

To add personal perspective to the project, students developed interview questions relating to our six subtopics.  They interviewed their parents, grandparents, teachers, and experts in the field,  to gather background information and add personal thoughts on our topic.
