When working with students, one way to make change concrete is to compare technology from the past to the present. At this website, you can see a typewriter, cassette player, rotary telephone, turn-table, transistor radio (see history of radio graphic) and more.
Possible Questions:
How many were in one household? School? Business?
How much space, energy, time did the device use?
In what country was the device manufactured?
How much did it cost?
How did it affect the individual, family, business?
How did affect play, fun, and socializing?
What does this tell us about the culture (of the past)?
