8.SI.1.1


 * Reflection Page** Andrew Tyler

The most interesting thing that I learned about my decade was the Battle of Midway. It was fun to learn of all the careful planning and strategies involved, and how Naval Intelligence played a role in the turning point of World War II. I also thought an interesting thing was when Indiagained independence from Britain. I thought all the English colonies revolted in the 18th century and had freedom. I also thought Gandhi was with a separate movement other from independence. Americahas changed since my chosen decade by no longer being in World War II and having an updated military. We are no longer in a depression or in a naval-based war with anyone. We have a different president and now have 50 states, instead of 48. The hardware/software problems I encountered were my inability to print my project draft and the spacebar on my computer is loose. One of the WebPages I used was removed and I had to use another. Technology is changing our society by keeping people more in touch with each other and by keeping us better entertained. Computers allow us to type documents before printing and let us search for things you could only find in a library. Cell phones let us talk from anywhere. New ovens and stoves let us cook food much more quickly than before. We are becoming dependent on our technology now more than ever before.
