Everyone: I just watched this slideshow on the New York Times website and had to share it with you. This is really effective at illustrating several important issues: the impact of technology on the global community, the disparity between wealthy and poor nations, and the health issues raised by improper disposal of electronic devices. Ironically, I will have to go back and reformat the link on this post because I'm doing it from my iPhone.
And now, for a 10-point bonus: watch this slideshow and write a 1-2 paragraph reflection--what thoughts and feelings come to your mind as you look at the pictures, what surprised you when you watched it, and what should we do about it?
Okay, so this isn't the history that we've been studying, but guess what? This is MODERN history...it's the world we're creating based on the advances of our own past. Oh, and by the way, we'll be looking at Ghana next week in USH10. Good stuff.
And now, have a great weekend...I can hardly wait to see you all again next week.
