Radio was the first invention for fast mass communication. Radio inspired the TV and many other inventions. Radio started as am and now has developed into satellite radio. It was one of the first forms of entertainment in technology.

The iPhone was the first invention available to the public which merged wireless portable phone and complete internet access. It opened a new gateway for the possibilities of portable technology. I wish I had one.

Computers completely changed the world as we knew it 30 years ago. The world has become so so much more globalized since the invention of the computer and internet. I think the computer was one of the best inventions ever.

To me this picture is amazing. It is weird how we can have satellites in the middle of nowhere transmitting signals everywhere. I wonder "Who keeps track of all this". Are they getting all of their information from one or more sources?

This Picture just shows me how far we have come in technology. This TV is big and bubbly looking. And I know the picture, and sound was not very good. I can remember having one of these TV's as a child.

Part 2

This 10 min documentary was about the history and photography abilities in 1946. The video came with no sound, but did show some steps in how photos were produced in this time. The video showed scenes from different photo shoots, movies being made, and other random scenarios. It also showed the type of equipment they used to use, and how the pictures would turn out. Back in 1946 photography was also considered to be motion pictures, so the video also showed some of the advances in video like slow motion. The only thing I wish this video had was sound explaining some of the equipment and processes.
