Technology

A couple weeks ago in English we watched a video about a typewriter. This video got me thinking about how technology has changed so much since i was little. Im sure the generation of my parents did not see this much change in technology during their life. When i was born people still bought vhs's now we can just download movies directly on our computer with really high quality. I dont think people back then imagined this change coming so fast. Even having a gig of storage on a computer was a big deal bag then. Now people walk around with more storage than that on their flash drives. I think it is cool how technology has changed so fast and wonder what more new things we cant imagine will be coming out soon.

Annotated Bibliography Mini Assignment

For the assignment i did last week I used a lot of different sources.

The main source i had was an interview. This was really useful for my assignment because this was getting a first hand answer to the questions i had. Using this information i could get an answer to my questions instead of making guessing on what i think the answer would be.

The second source i used a picture. I think this is a good source too because it lets the reader or person looking at my work know exactly what i saw, instead of the person have to read my description. I think pictures are a good way for people to see things through other peoples eyes. In this case people could see first hand what food i ate or my other group members.\

The next source i used was my own field notes that i took in my day book. I think this is also a pretty good source. When i have my own notes i can always go back to them and add things on my final product. It is also easy for your experiences to come back to you.
