Science has always appealed to me. The expansion and application of technology is an exciting process to witness in action, and I feel it will be just as interesting in retrospect. Even just yesterday, the iPad was revealed and people from around the world stopped to examine this new breed of computer. While I have only learned about the advancement of science in the terms of my own advancement through the materials, examining more recent discoveries in the scope of American History will be an interesting journey. I am sure that I will find all sorts of interesting tidbits on the origin of common technologies and commonly accepted scientific theories and their impact on society. I feel that many people take for granted the extreme power of modern technology, and I hope that I will gain a new appreciation for it through my research.
