We Are Children Of The Apple Generation

We chose "personal computer" as our theme to show the development of computers, especially of Apple computers, between 1970 and 1990.
Our choice of items were several articles and photos from this time period, floppies, earphones, a CD-ROM, stickers with the Apple icon, and a keyboard. We took three boxes and painted them, so that they would look like the Apple I, Apple II, and Apple III models. Since the Apple II model only had a black-and-white screen we put only black and white photos on it, whereas the Apple III model had a screen in color, so we put photos in color on it. Apple III was also the first computer to plug in earphones, so we attached a pair of them to the back side of the box.
We probably could have found more items from that time period that were not only articles and photos, but Overall I think our project looks fine.
One advice for next year's class is to meet at least once to prepare the boxes before you assemble them in class. If we had not done that, we could not have finished assembling the project.

  1. I really like your topic! lots of groups did technology which is pretty broad topic. good job narrowing it down to one company! Plus I like your title "We are childern of the apple generation" it really shows how much apple has affected us
