EoTo 1 Reaction

 Today in class, we all presented our Projects on the tech timeline. Everyone's presentations were quite interesting. Personally, I discussed and presented the US Postal Service for mine. You can view some of the information I presented on this very blog. 

    My Peers all presented different topics. Some chatted about Netflix, others about Carrier Pigeons. But I want to highlight the ones I found most interesting. The first thing is first is Casset tapes. The student who talked about them did a fantastic job explaining the history of them. For example, they were made by a fella called Lou Otten and released to the public in 1964. The most popular cassette tape was the Sony Walkman. The most interesting fact about them I learned is that they are slowly making a comeback. They are a cheaper retro alternative to vinyl and are attractive to collectors.     Another interesting Technology we learned about was Netflix. Did you know it started as a video delivery

service? I sure didn't! But this was so interesting to me. It is unrecognizable from where it started. It first became a subscription service in 1999, and it now creates its own films and TV shows that it distributes on its platform.     Lastly, I want to talk about the Telephone. This goes without saying, but this technology revolutionized
EVERYTHING! The first phone was made in 1876 and then slowly turned into the phones we know today. The phone was very good at its job. Eventually, when it became mainstream, and everyone had a landline, people had
the major problem of people eavesdropping. This would also create the term party line since so many people were on the call at the same time.     In conclusion, my peers presented their inventions wonderfully! I look forward to the next EoTo to see all the other kinds of fun topics people bring to the table. Till next time!
