The article I read was "Did you Know" by Karl Fisch. This article was about how technology has changed through out the years, comparison of different countries, where the world is going, and peoples daily uses. Some examples of these are computers to lap tops, comparing graduating classes, China is going to be prodominately English speaking, and text messages.
This applies to my daily life because I am using these different appliances every day and I need to know about whats going on in the World. In school we use computers almost every day. Just think how different school would be if we didn't have computers. We don't just use computers in school, after school we will go home and check our Myspaces or E-Mails. Ask yourself this question, if you lived fifty years back how would you life be different?
