He remembers people coming into their house and crowding around their television to watch it with them for the first time. In today’s society, there is so much technology and we have gotten so used to it we do not think for ourselves. Mr. Francis explained to me that since there was no technology or cell phones, people actually communicated with each other and had real conversations. He told me that today’s generation relies on our phones and social media so much we forget how to communicate in the outside world, and we talk to people like we talk to them online.
How did communication technologies and popular culture change during the 1930s? Provide a few examples. While the Great Depression was often viewed solely as the devastating economic collapse that destroyed the American confidence and left millions fearful and hopeless, although frequently unrecognized, there was in fact another side to this decade which allowed Americans to look forward to a better future. “Many people traveled and looked ahead to a brighter future of streamlined appliances and gadgets that meant a better life” (Nash 558). A communications revolution which occured throughout the 1930’s changes many lives of middle class Americans.
Prior to this time people had to communicate through face to face meetings, written letters or telegraphy. Yet because of this, people had to visit each other or wait a long time for a letter. One change was the invention of the telephone made by Alexander Graham Bell. Furthermore between 1760 to 1840 the development of new methods also instigated the change. This can be seen when people had to use letters or talk face to face before the invention of the telephone.
Odysseus overcomes another obstacle and saves his men from death in his long journey home from the Trojan war. Odysseus and his men often ran into strange creatures and distractions on their way home to Ithaca. During these events, Odysseus displayed actions of a true warrior that kept their hopes alive of returning home. He did everything in his power to keep his men alive and he didn’t show any remorse towards their obstacles. In the Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus is an epic hero because of his knowledge in battle combined with his faithfulness which he displays by using his resourcefulness and trickery to save his men, and fighting off the Suitors so he can peacefully live with his family once he returns to Ithaca.

Technology has come a long way since the early 1900s. Our world has become more advanced and fast paced due to the advances of technology. Over the last 100 years, technology is by far the biggest change in our culture.
Cellphones is also known as cellular phone; it is a transportable telephone that sends and receives radio signals through a network. Cellphone has a huge impact on people because it plays a major role in our daily communication; especially it helps us connect to other people easier. It gives us a chance of having access to different ability like keeping in touch with our family members, businesses relationships and more while we are in different places. However before the use of cell phone, people had desperate needs of mobile communication, so they had installed radiotelephones in their car. It was not effective and inconvenient to use, the main reason was the size, which was too big, and the use of phone was limited because it requires a powerful transmitter.

The revolution is now!” (Nihal Mehta, Eniac Ventures). In the past, people invented the telephone to make distances became closer between each other.
Face-to-face communication is replaced by Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype and many other social media application. The overuse of modern gadget also lead to addiction that our eyes always glue to the screen of the smartphone and neglect the things happened around us. It is sad that most of the families nowadays always sit around the table and just ‘communicate’ with their mobile phone when waiting for the food in a restaurant. The communication between family members obviously become less and less. And yet, this bizarre behaviour seems to be implied that we prefer to communicate to someone who stay far from us via smartphones more than communicate with someone who just sit in front or beside us.
