Exam 3

#1.
During the 50's and 60's there wasn't very much technology around. The most technology they had was video cameras. There video camera took a very big part in the 1960's, this video camera caught the shooting of John F. Kennedy. This changed history by having the video of that day. Without the guy that taped this and him having this camera, there wouldn't be proof of this seen. Which makes it a large part of the changing in technology during this time. Also there have been more events in history that have proven that technology has a very big part in our history. As in the hanging of Saddam Hussain. This was another turning point in the history of technology, having a cell phone that could video tape the seen of Saddam Hussain. Unlike the iraq governoment, this tape has sounds showing what they were saying to Saddam Hussain, the goverment wanted it to look like it was just a easy and fast killing and had nothing to do with names calling. Which the technology of the cell phone proved that this wasn't the way that it all went down.
