An example of technology that represents a rhyme of history is text messaging through cellular phones. It rekindles or retrieves from the past: when people had something important to tell or just wanted to tell someone something they would call them on the telephone but they may not be able to talk. It may be that you are in another state and want this communication to go through now. The Indians use to send smoke signals and other people used Pony Express to send mail.
You are able now to talk to a person instantly, able to ask a question and get an immediate reply within seconds. A person can take a picture and send it as an attachment with the text message and you do not have to wait until you see them.

Hmmm . . . . . Smoke signals, now that was a technology.
ReplyDeleteNice job.
Vickie,
ReplyDeleteTest messaging is a good example of a technology that represents a rhyme of history. I enjoy being able to send a text message and I am very glad that it gets there much faster than the mail or Pony Express did. Good job.
Vickie,
ReplyDeleteDo you see text messaging replacing email? I find that now, I will text message someone instead of emailing them allowing for a quicker reply and conversation.
