time by time

I search on the internet and found good information about what to put on the video. Also, video is kind of hard so we are going to use PowerPoint. Some information we are going to put s about the toilet paper and cell phone text messaging. We picked toilet paper because, it’s what we use everyday of our life. Also, this is really simple thing but people don’t know anything about it. Also we picked cell phone because teenagers can not live without it. Some information I found about cell phone is people send 12 billion messages per day (world average) and in china during their one week holiday, they send 140 billion messages. Which are 17 per person in china including people who don’t have cell phone? Moreover, toilet paper… First, I thought they used leaves, or sticks. But they actually used clays, sticks and their left hand. This project will show how the modern world is new and world is changing very fast.

Our project’s overview will be like a video. We all are trying to find song that contains about times and history. For our video, it’s similar to what Mr.Burell showed us. We will give the audience how time goes by really fast. For example, I thought toilet paper was invented like 300~500 years ago, but looking at the timeline it only been 200 years. In our video, we will give overview of those things. Also, we are going to give out survey that asks questions about history. Like “How long do you think telephone have existed in world?” then people are probably write 400 or more. This kind of information will give idea that today; teenagers think our modern world is old. So, on our last part of the video, we are going to put the survey on one side and real answer on the other.

Today, I would like to talk about technologies that were invented. Just brainstorming there are battery, arc lamp, printing press, electromagnet, microphone, typewriter, sewing machine, and many more than that. But if you look at them closely, they are things that we still use today, but just developed overtime. But I want to go over one specific tech, which is dish washer, it’s a machine that house worker loves to use. This was invented in1850 by Joel Hughton. This machine was first made by wood. This machine is worked by hand, if you turn the wheel, then water will splash out to clean out dishes. This didn’t work that well. A person who actually made them work is Josephine Cochran in 1886. The invention would be not strong but as time pass, there is going to be one or more individual would will improve that invention.

Out of those three groups, entertainment such as movie sounds interesting to me. First today, I want to talk about is first moving film. Back in 1877, the movie wasn’t like today. The first moving film was invented by Eadweard Muybridge in 1877. It moves but no sound. It really caught people, the audience’s attention because, the movie wasn’t happening while they were watching them. This idea sometimes causes people to be little scared. It’s very simple thing but if I think about how it was very big deal back then, movie also influenced modern world. The motion picture camera was the major thing that cause movie to move. This camera’s components capture images and saves on a reel. Then quickly connect them to make them flow. This is simple machine today, but once again back then; it was very popular and surprising machine.In our modern world today, there is small thing that people always listen, look, and touch but it’s too simple thing that people never care about to ask where it really originated. Just for fun, in 1880, toilet paper was invented by British Paper Company. Without any research, the first thing comes up in my mind is what did they use before the toilet paper came up to world.

The time line is only 200 years ago. But today, people can not live with televisions, computers, cell phones, and etc… Just 200years ago, none of this were invented but people lives just fine, having their normal routine. If I imagine myself, being at that time of period, I would die of bore. The inventions are scary thing. A century is very long time for human being but for inventions, it’s not. In one century 1800 through out until 1899, lots of inventions were made. If I can sort them out into three groups, there are technology, entertainment, and medicine. They are things that have kept being improved until modern world. For example, back then, cold could have led people’s death, but now, cold is just simple sickness. Moreover, in 1834, refrigerator was invented. If I think about it, then food will only last for two to three days without refrigerator. This leads to another question, how would they have stored their food. What I really want to know is how world was like after new inventions were made, and how those three groups improved over time until modern period.
