EOTO React 1

 

    While watching the first round of EOTO presentation I learned about many different types of technology and the times of the inventions and how they changed the history of todays society. I also feel these presentations were very important as we are college aged kids who may not even think about what life used to be like or how things have evolved from when they were invented to what they are now. 

One of the big things I learned about was the printing press. This was a ground breaking invention as it gave people the chance to print their own thoughts and opinions. This made it possible to share their thoughts and opinions with others, but also made it possible for us to have records of things from all the way back in history. This would then lead to the creation of the newspaper as well.

We also got to learn about the creation of instant messaging, we learned about the pros like being able to be in contact with many from around the world with this creation but also the negatives of personal connections with this creations. I personally love this creation as it has made life so easy to communicate, instead of having to send an email or another source of communication you can't send that instant message and get an instant reply from those you are communicating with. 

The third and final source of technology that stood out to me was the invention of the World Wide Web. Because I mean, think about what the world would look like if the World Wide Web didn't exist. This creation would change the world of using the internet and web for people to share and communicate information to one another. I learned that the WWW was originally created in order for scientist professors to exchange their finding about a topic they both were researching deeper. 

In conclusion I learned a lot about the evolution of the technology that I use today on a daily basis and the original problems it solved back then and how it continues to grow or how it still has an effect on society all these years later.
