The essay on electricity in the home was interesting. When it stated the part about fathers would be more apt to spend more time in the home, children would be more eager to see their fathers, and the family is more unified you can't help but feel like you're reading an advertisement. They did a good job of promoting electricity. Although it may sound a tad far fetched to us now for them back then who were just being introduced to electricity these advantages problem seemed likely. If there was a lot of emphasis placed on family togetherness then this was certainly the route to go. | The essay on electricity in the home was interesting.

| + | I agree with Sheri, I felt like the Cleavers were going to be in that ad. I wonder if they didn't use the family as propaganda, would electricity have caught on so fast?--Pam Petzold | ||
I thought it was very intersting when Kyle said that the use of radios in children playing as being the equivalent of the modern integration of technology in the classrooms. Maybe its a little varied today with all the different kinds of Macs and iWhatevers, but I guess children playing with the radios is still a form of technology knowledge building. After all, I had to ask for help 5 times in 3 minutes with my friend's new Droid before finally giving up and blaspheming technology today. Does that count as building my technologic knowledge? | I thought it was very intersting when Kyle said that the use of radios in children playing as being the equivalent of the modern integration of technology in the classrooms.
