SUMMARY:FAMILY HISTORY – TECHNOLOGY ACROSS GENERATIONS
DESCRIPTION:Join ASU professor emeritus Duane Roen\, founding coordinator for the Project for Writing and Recording Family History in the College of Integrative Science and Arts for a unique family history workshop. Technology changes from one generation to another\, and it changes rapidly within a single generation. For example\, in the United States farmers were still using workhorses into the 1940s\, but tractors had pretty much replaced them by the 1950s. In the home and workplace\, many forms of technology have changed in our lifetime. In this workshop we will write about technologies that have changed during our lifetime and how those changes have altered our lives in ways that our parents or grandparents could not have imagined. Ages 14 & up. \nRegistration required.
