    1920's Good or Bad?

    For many decades, there were numerous arguments stating whether the “Roaring 20s” were good times or bad times in Canadian history. Although there were many clear reasons that supported both sides of the argument, I believe that the 1920s were good times. The “Roaring 20s” were times of economic and social boom. New inventions which are still effective part of our lives in 21st century, growing power of multimedia and entertainment, and modern form of industrial revolution with mass production all originated from 1920s. Moreover, the entrepreneurs and industrializing businesses especially in the central Canada or in the cities were successful. Lastly, stock market was rising gradually until the very late 1920s, until it collapsed. The 1920s were surely the golden era of Canadian history.…

    Teaching Technological Literacy in Middle School Exclusive of Technological Literate Educators

    In a world that has only one constant factor, which is change, it is imperative as educators to provide an education for students that will provide them with a successful foundation for their future endeavors. In order to provide accurate material to students, we, as an educational community, need to gain an understanding for where the world and society is today, as well as the projected developments of the future. Whether the middle school students sitting in the classroom are college bound, or eager to enter the workforce upon high school graduation, all students are in need of technology education. Today, the projected job market is dominated by technology oriented positions and professional growth. An article from the U.S. News reports “As technology seemingly advances its way into every nook and cranny of our society, the job market for individuals with vat knowledge of it is ever expanding” (U.S. News, 2012). However, technology education cannot be efficiently reached if the educators are not given the resources to teach technology. By providing teachers with the knowledge to infuse their lessons with technology, students will be given a competitive edge when entering college, or a technological driven society.…

    What Happened In The 1980s-1990s

    I. What happened in the 1980s-1990s After the recession of America in the 1980s-1990s, America soon regained economic stability. However, some methods they took to get out of the violent recession and crises had affected the work force, most especially the men. The divide between the goods (male) and service producing (female) sectors of the economy expanded due to the global forces and technological innovation. Many companies moved from hands-on labour to mechanized work since this was cheaper, leaving American male workers unnecessary and out of jobs. Many factories closed down because of cheap labor and production costs.…

    Technology Boom in the 1990

    Technology has changed our lives tremendously but there is a down side to have such incredible technology though. With the help of technology, the need of employees was not that necessary. The fact that technology can take the job of a human is detrimental to some people because they need to make a living in order to take care of their families. So the technology boom that happened in the 1990’s was a great thing and a not so great thing at the same time. Day by day technology grows more and more and humans are needed less and…

    Similarities Between The 80's And 90s

    To me, the commercials in the 80’s and 90’s were the most controversial because of a number of cigarettes, sexuality, and sexism they presented. It seemed like most of the commercials were targeted toward men because women were used as sex objects when they have more value than that. A woman has feelings and does not focus her attention on pleasing a certain man. I do not remember many commercials when I was younger and I was surprised that no one had an issue with the amount of sexuality that was on television. It seemed like people just thought it was normal and today ad's on TV are not promoting that much sexuality.…

    Better Than Hum Why Robots Will And Must Take Our Jobs

    If our technologies keep advancing at the rate that they are going, then we could see over half of the jobs that exist now disappear (Kelly 300). With that being said these same technologies could also keep on creating new jobs that do not even exist right now (Kelly 304). I will discuss what jobs will be lost and gained by new technology using examples from Kevin Kelly’s piece as will examples from my own personal experiences. These personal examples will also explain why this article really made me think of my own life and my family’s.…

    dumbest generation

    Every year that slips by, the idea of a student reading an encyclopedia instead of using a known search engine with a few clicks of a finger becomes less and less familiar. Every hour that drains away, a website is being made to replace older methods of getting things done. From writing research papers to playing games with friends, almost everything created or updated in the last 10 to 15 years is increasingly being aimed at the technologically inclined. Although a vast majority of the newest generation, the millennial age, would protest if you titled them as anything but intellectually superior, it is bluntly obvious how technological advances over the years have tainted their perception, influencing the outcome of their future in a negative manner.…
