My group's theme was Apple computers and how they have influenced society since the 1960s. Our project was organized onto three boxes, where each box represented a different Apple computer.
The first box was the Apple 1, the first Apple personal computer. The Apple I looked very simple, much like a big brown box with a keyboard; it didn't even have a screen. On this box, we put information about the Apple I, along with information about how the early years of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
The second box we modeled after the Apple II. It was one of the first highly successful mass produced home computers on the market. On this box we made a black and white screen, and put black and white articles of Jobs and Wozniak along with information about the computer and ads for Apple.
On the final box, we made it look like the Apple III, a more business orientated personal computer. It was one of the first computers to have colors, so we put color articles and ads on this box.
If I were to do this project again, I would try to pick a topic that wasn't as hard to find non-expensive objects for. For 2 of our objects, we had to build/model the object we wanted because we couldn't find it anywhere.
Overall this was a fun project and a great way to present information we found about our topic.

Interesting topic, instead of covering technology in general, you guys focused on one company and how much they changed our culture. Nice Job.

Interesting usage of the boxes to model Apple products, kudos! I agree with the remark that expensive technologies make things hard. If you do old technology, be warned that most of it is either very expensive and very large.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job narrowing you topic to one specific aspect of the topic. It must have been hard to find old computer technology for a reasonable price.
