The Walkman was a huge hit toward the 70's. My mom said this was one of her favorite pieces of technology because of how fun it was to take music to-go. From the way she described this time period, I wish I lived in it!

The Card Catalog, invented in 1791 by the Revolutionary Government in France, were then on their way to fill libraries in schools in around 1885. This was a cabinet filled with cards that would locate and go in detail for specific materials in the library. My mom recalls spending hours in the library using scientific journals, Encyclopedias, and card catalogs for research. In 1885, Melvil Dewey invents and starts training librarians in Library Hand, a penmanship specifically for catalog cards.

My mom told me that she had a family computer at her parent's house. This was very exciting because she would use it to type papers in college! This was before Google, so there wasn't MUCH to do on them, but it was definitely a shift in the technology world. Eventually, she started using email and told me that is how a lot of people communicated. She was so happy to ditch the pagers. She did not like those!

It took schools until around 1915 to introduce the typewriter. Both my Mom and Grandma had used them in their early days, exchanging cramping writing hands for tired typing hands. This opened a new potential for future technologies that aided with writing in schools.

As a little girl in the 1940's my Grandma had a delight watching films about Geography and History in school. Being a groundbreaking tool for schools, this immersive and visual way of learning was definitely memorable for people like my Grandma. It would pave the way for visual media in education. These would be used alongside chalkboards to help the students learn!

The Transistor Radio was a small radio receiver which was released to the public in 1954. It was an extremely popular way to listen to music wherever you went. The power of music was so strong that my Grandma said they weren't allowed in school! The companies behind it were Texas Instruments and the I.D.E.A. Having previously been working on projects for the oil industry and instruments for the Navy, Texas Instruments decided to explore more avenues and this portable sound of music was born!
