throughout the years.

2. Education
 Education has changed a lot
before students had textbooks
to read their chapters. Now
they have access to eBooks or
e-readers.
 Before calculators had the
basic numbers and symbols
but now you can do
everything on a calculator
including graphs.

3. Communication
• Before we would pass
notes or write letters.
• Now we sent text
messages and emails.

4. Phones
• Before we had pay
phones and house
phones.
• Now we have cell
phones also known as
smart phones.

5. Computers & Laptops
When computers first came out they
didn’t have many of the features you
see today. When I was a little girl our
computer was a big machine. To get
internet we had dial up internet it would
take forever for the page to upload.
Thankfully now many things have
changed we now have internet and Wi-
Fi.

6. Relationships
• Even Relationships have changed
before we would meet in person
and have dinner. Now they’re
dating websites and chat rooms.
So now you could meet your soul
mate in the convenience of your
home.

7. GPS
• Getting from one place to another can
be challenging I remember being a
little girl and having to look at map.
Now we have GPS and it has all these
features you can see the street names
even what restaurants are nearby.
There is also the option to have the GPS
give you directions.

8. Entertainment
• There have been so many
changes with televisions when I
was a little girl we had the big box
TV with antennas.
• Now in the year 2014 there are flat
screen TVs and even smart TVs .

9. Dining
In the past everyone would eat
home cooked meals at home.
Now, there's fast food
restaurants where you can just
drive thru and grab breakfast,
lunch, or dinner.

10. Traveling
 Traveling has changed a lot too.
 Many people couldn’t afford to get a ticket for
the train.
 Today we have airplanes to help us get from
one place to another in a few hours.

11. Transportation
 Transportation is not the same as it was many
years ago. Before people had horses or horse
carriages to get from one place to another.
 Today we have cars, trucks, and SUVS and its
not just about having an engine. Vehicles
have a lot of technology like GPS, heated
seats and automatic wipers.

12. Laundry
 Laundry has changed for the better. I know
there are still some countries that have to
hand wash their clothes. I cannot imagine
having to do that everyday.
 Now we just load up the washer select the
water temperature and press start and the
clothes will be clean.
 To dry the clothes people would hang it out
and let it air dry. But with the dryers we have
today it takes less than an hour to have dry
clothes.

13. Video Games
 Before we had video games children would play
outside and be content.
 Today, many kids are playing with video games at a
younger age.
 Technology has impacted how children view “having
fun.”

14. Music Player
 Music player have changed a lot.
 When I was in middle school I remember
being excited because I had a CD player
to listen to music.
 The only thing is that I had to carry multiple
CDs to listen to different types of music.
 Now with iPods music is so much easier to
download or purchase. You have
hundreds and hundreds of music in one
device.

Cassette player
MP3

15. Movie Player
 Before we had VHS players. They played the big rectangle
videos.
 Now we have DVD players or Blu-ray players they look more like
a cd. Some of the DVDs are high resolution.
 They both serve the same purpose but the picture quality of
the movies are better and in high definition.
