Instructions:

Select a technology developed between 1900 and 1920, and then craft a narrative which addresses the following questions:

• What is the technology?

• Who developed it?
• How did this technology influence another technology?
• Examples?
• Is this technology, or a subset of this technology in use today?
• What are some of the social and cultural effects of the technology?
• Did it effect society? Was it positive, negative, neutral?

This writing assignment will begin your exploration of technology, investigating effects, influence, use, and adoption. You are writing a story; a story about the technology. It is not meant to be a scientific paper. It may be written in the first person, as you are describing how "you," have understood the technology and how it has influenced society, etc.

You should identify a minimum of 3 references for your paper, and they should be properly cited.
