technology of the 1920s, Make a timeline with at least ten technologies of that time that you think changed the way Americans lived during this period

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, start by listing some technologies of the 1920's.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, I'll give you a starting point. Radio was developed in the 1920's, can you think of any other technologies?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bobsue are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, great! So can you think of any other technologies developed in the 1920's that changed the way people lived. I'll give you a hint about one, Charlie Chaplin was famous for his work in these.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue whom he is. hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

created something called the tramp ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thats not exactly what I was going for. Have you ever heard of silent films? They're pretty much like our movies of today, but they have no audible noise, and they were all in black and white.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of which "The Tramp" was a character in one of the films portrayed by Chaplin. So, now that we have those, we just need 8 more things, then we arrange them on a timeline according to date. Can you think of anything else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't remember anything from the lesson?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we didn't really go over this in the lesson.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, did you know Band-Aids were invented in '21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's all it said to do..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay great! The assignment is testing how you research, and present information. I'd go with searching "timeline of technology of the 21st century" on Google. Then, when you have 10 things that revolutionized life for people of the 20's you arrange them on a timeline according to date. Remember, the question says that they have to include home life, transportation, entertainment, work life, etc. So be sure to get a wide variety. Silent films could fall under the category of entertainment, as could radio. Since that's two from that category, you might want to find some stuff from the other categories before using entertainment again. If you have any more questions, I'm always willing to help!
