Strand 1 Toffler’s Three Waves
Agricultural Age • Toffler’s first wave, the Agricultural Age, focuses on society after the agrarian revolution. • This wave replaced the first hunter-gatherer cultures with agriculture and settlement.
The first wave is marked by: • Extended Family • All family working the land • Transportation was performed on foot or by horse • Communication was accomplished face to face • Education was mainly oral and limited to books • Multiage group classroom and homeschooling • (Toffler, 2008)
Toffler writes: "The Second Wave Society is industrial and based on mass production, mass distribution, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass recreation, mass entertainment, and weapons of mass destruction. You combine those things with standardization, centralization, concentration, and synchronization, and you wind up with a style of organization we call bureaucracy“ (Toffler, 1980). Industrial Age
Main Components of the Second wave: • Nuclear family • Top-down bureaucracies • Factories • Transportation shifted to automobiles, planes and trains • Communication was still primarily face to face • Factory-type educational system • Grouped by ages and grades • Utilized books, film strips, and videos • (Toffler, 2008)
Toffler’s third wave is known as the information age. • To various degrees predicted: • Demassification • Diversity • Knowledge-Based Production • The acceleration of change • All of which is evident today! • (Toffler, 1980) Information Age
Main components of the Third Wave: • Diverse Family systems • Collaborative Teamwork • Work hour/location flexibility • Transportation primarily automobiles, planes, and computers • Multiple forms of communication: Cell phones, Computer to computer, E-mail, Messaging • Education has digital access through computer/internet capability – creates “hyperkids” (Toffler, 2008)
There is speculation that we are or have already entered a fourth wave. According to Dr. Thornburgh this wave is the Communication wave (Thornburgh, 2008). Dr. Dede believes that the fourth wave is Biotechnology (Dede, 2008). I believe that Communication is indeed the wave we are currently in. It is and has been evident in many areas of our lives. Communication Age
The Communication Age is evident in several ways: • The internet has become more than just a tool for information. It has developed into a world wide communication tool for anyone to use. • The use of cell phones, PDA’s, and Laptops make modes of communication easily accessible anytime and anywhere you wish to use them. • Texting has become second nature to most people and more so with the younger generation. • Communication is accomplished through, e-mail, social networking sites, cell phones, blogs, glogs, Wiki’s, and so on… all of these can and are utilized all over the world.

Strand 2 Technological Advances
1900 - 1909 • 1908: • First Model T Sold: • Ford invented the Assembly line: • This was a very important advance in manufacturing and it still is today. Mass production truly got it’s start with this key invention. • (Bellis, 2009) • 1903 • First gas-manned flight made by Wright brothers: • Flight impacted several areas. The ability to travel to places in a matter of hours which before would have taken days or even weeks or months or longer… changed how people saw the world. Flight eventually made the world a smaller place. • (Bellis, 2009) • 1900: • Brownie Camera • Put picture capability in everyone hands • Revolutionized the way we communicate: “photojournalism, the motion picture industry, medical X-Rays, Satellite imaging, the internet… every technology we use to communicate with pictures can trace it’s ancestry to that first black box” • (http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/brownieCam/index.shtml).
1910 - 1919 • 1914: • Morgan Gas mask invented • Morgan’s Gas mask was utilized by firefighters and the army during WWI. I believe that this little bit of technology revolutionized some aspects of war in what they had the capability to do and definitely the way fires were fought. • 1916: • Radio Tuners invented • Now able to receive different stations and broadcasting and choice is possible • 1918: • Superheterodyne radio tuner: • Invented by: Edwin Howard Armstrong • Still used in every radio and T.V. Today References:(Bellis, 2009)
1920 - 1929 There are several innovations throughout this decade but there are a few that have really impacted society and education. • 1923: Frozen food invented by Clarence Birdseye The invention of frozen food has played an integral part in daily living especially in the school systems. • 1925: Mechanical Television invention: This was a precursor to the modern day version that is so popular in the home, business, and schools. • 1927: Technicolor invented • 1928: Discovery of Penicillin References:(Bellis, 2009)

Where would radio be today without it? References:(Bellis, 2009)
1940 - 1949 • 1940: Color Television Invented by Peter Goldmark: Television has impacted all aspects of our culture and continues to do so today. When color was added it made it all that more enjoyable. • 1945: The Atomic Bomb This has impacted the world and brought new power to the hands of man that personally I’m not really sure we should have. The invention of this item has proven to be devastating for so many people through the years. • 1946: The Microwave Oven This invention has changed the way people think about meal time. The time it takes to cook something is drastically altered in a microwave which leads to more time to do other more important things like spending time with family. • 1947: Mobile Phones The invention of the mobile phone would change communication and the future of how people interact and where they are when they interact. “Mobile phones were invented in 1947 but cell phones were not sold commercially until 1983” (Bellis, 2009) References:(Bellis, 2009)
1950 - 1959 • 1950: The Credit Card • The first credit card was invented by Ralph Schneider and it was a diner’s card (About, 2009).

It was the cause of controversy for many years and it went through several changes before becoming what it is today. • 1958: The Integrated Circuit • Invented by 2 men at the same time unknowingly by each other: Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. “The invention of the integrated circuit stands historically as one of the most important innovations of mankind. Almost all modern products use chip technology” (Bellis, 2009) References:(Bellis, 2009)
1960 - 1969 • 1965: Compact Disc • “Invented by James Russell but didn’t become popular until it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980” (Bellis, 2009) • 1967: First Hand-held Calculator • This innovation changed math class forever in the American school system. Later on it would change calculus, geometry, algebra… with other functions besides just the 4 basic add, subtract, multiply, and divide. • 1968: RAM (Random Access memory) • This changed the way computers not only stored memory but how it accessed it as well. This is a very important moment in the history of computers. References:(Bellis, 2009)
1970 - 1979 • 1970: The Floppy Disc • Made it possible to save information and carry information from one computer to another. • 1971: Microprocessor • “In November, 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor…The Intel 4004 chip took the integrated circuit down one step further by placing all the parts that made a computer think (i.e. central processing unit, memory, input and output controls) on one small chip. Programming intelligence into inanimate objects had now become possible” (About, 2009) • The downsizing of computers has begun and it is still going today. They just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller… • 1972: First Video Game • Pong was the first video game and the industry has boomed ever since! • Video games are now not only for entertainment but now there are educational games that encompass learning not wasting your time. References:(Bellis, 2009)
1980 - 1989 • 1984: Apple-Macintosh Invented • Truly the Personal Computer really took off when the Apple arrived and it gave IBM a run for it’s money. CD-ROM Invented • 1985: Windows Program invented by Microsoft • IBM computers would be getting a new interface to keep up with the recent competition set forth by the Macintosh recently released. References:(Bellis, 2009)
1990 - 1999 • 1990: The birth of the World Wide Web • “WWW and Internet protocol (HTTP) and WWW language (HTML) were created by Tim Berners-Lee” (About, 2009). • This was the beginning of something huge. Today the internet is an infinite source of information and entertainment. The internet has changed the way we look at the world and makes it even smaller. • 1993: The Pentium Processor References:(Bellis, 2009)
2000 - 2009 • 2001: Artiificial Heart • The artificial heart gives a renewed life to those who’s natural heart can’t do the job. • Apple Publicly Announced the i-pod. • 2005: Youtube • Anyone can be a star on Youtube and they are.
