During the past week, I had learned\nthat technology is constantly evolving; nothing is considered as a new idea in\ntoday\u2019s society because it has all already been done in earlier years in a\ndifferent form such as how a radiophone dance from the roaring 20s has been modernized\ninto what we now know as a silent disco. Technology has become such an integral\npart of history due to the New Deal under FDR as it paved the way for new ideas\nand gave birth to a new era of technological advances. I have also learned that\nbecause of this connection history and technology have a mutual connection\nsince certain parts in history can be traced to some advancement in history. Throughout\nthe semester, I hope to lean about how technology impacted the humanities throughout\nthe 30s and hopefully through part of the 40s; more specifically, how technology\nhelped progress projects covered under the new deal and how it helps us better\nunderstand the 1930s in today\u2019s time. I\u2019m also looking forward to learning more\nabout these programs that the New Deal created such as the Federal Art Project\nand the Federal Music Project and how technology played a role in allowing these\nprograms to thrive in the time period they were created in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project I was assigned to review\nis called \u201cBy the People<\/em>\u201d. The digital exhibit showcases different\ncampaigns ranging from the civil war to women\u2019s suffrage that allows you to\nexplore the supporting documents that go with that campaign. At first, I couldn\u2019t\ncomprehend what I was looking at, but with further investigation I was able to\nbetter grasp the concept of the website. The layout of the website allows you\nto explore different subjects written by the people and for the people; once\nyou dive further into a campaign you can see the multitude of documents that go\nwith that specific campaign. The website itself was easy to navigate and can be\naccessed by anyone that would want to read about the campaigns and understand what\noccurred during that time period. I found it to be very insightful not only for\nthe sheer amount of documents that the campaign includes but also because of\nthe experiences that they went through then that we can read about now to\nbetter understand the movements that made society what it is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (n.d.).
