The most helpful question was who was famous at your time since I learned a lot of things that I did’t know from the past.I was shocked about how the things in the olden days were compared to nowadays.

Back then they didn’t have google to search and other things they had to go to the library to find things and they had to use calculators if they wanted to message the teacher they had to make an appointment or send mails if you wanted to talk to a friend you had to go to their house the most interesting was them having to go to the library for information

Jo Ying:

The most helpful question is what is your favourite celebration? Because it helped me find out more about my interviewee’s personality and point of view. His answer did surprise me because I thought he would say a celebration like Chinese new year but instead his answer was his birthday because it was the only time of the year where he was allowed to eat ice cream.

I think the most useful questions is what traditions food u like it because it let me understand that people have different views and taste they would like somethings else not only what I think it is nice or delicious to eat .

The question saying that which was the first technology you used this made me understand historical insights by telling me what technology they used during the older times

There were also one that surprised me which was the how did technology change the way you spent time with family or friends the interviewee said that it allows her to spend more time by talking and messaging on the phone I think this surprised me because usually people will talk about they are on technology for too long which impacts the time they spent with their family

The question I think was (Do you prefer book or technology in the past? If yes why?) this question answer shock me because the interviewer said the she prefer book I thought technology is more easier than books!

Typical School Day

After I interviewed my dad, I realised that back then the entertainment and technology wasn't very good, so, they were more playful and emerged in sports. The most important question from my interview for me was, what was school like back then? Worse or better and why?

to create bias i asked my mother "is there any better/worse celebrations than deepavali?" my expectation was "all the other celebrations are worse" or "deepavali is the best" but instead she said "christmas was bettar than deepavali" which was unexpected from my indian mom seems like she had no bias

2024-11-21 06:17:16 UTC

The question I asked that helped me was would you rather take the old Time tech or now days tech it surprised me when she said she’d rather use now days because I thought she would like the old time better

For me, The most helpful question in revealing historical insight is, what were the tv in that lime like and how does it work. One of the response that surprise me is that some of the shows could be black and white even it’s the 1990s

Traditional Festivals/Celebrations or unique customs

When my interviewee was talking, I asked them if their types/tastes changed after the new years and they did took some resolutions which really got me to understand how some people have their goals during the new years and want to achieve it by the end. It also helped me understand that my interviewee is a very bright and determined person.

I feel like the most important question in the interview was "How has the style of music or movies changed from when you were young to today?" in this question, i found out that back in the old times, there was no CGI or any type of Technology so they had to actually use real-life sized dolls to create scenes in movies.

2024-11-21 06:18:25 UTC

It would probably be the 4 question that I created myself.

No there was none and because my mom forgotten how it was like since it was 30 years ago.

What is your favourite activity during new year because it lets me know what they like. When I ask what was your favourite singer which is Michael Jackson because he is a famous singer that many people like.

2024-11-21 06:18:42 UTC

Some time many thing is made by others, it is not really handed down. To know whether it is real, then review its history.

The most helpful question is “What was the first piece of technology you used, and how did it change your daily life?”

My mather’s response : After I got a laptop, I could surf the internet I had just started school and I also had a computer it was a popular electronic device, so l was fascinated by it

2024-11-21 06:23:24 UTC

I I think it is the question that they ask made when it was made can help people to know which time was it made or found
