Historical Society Trip

            For a trip the web class of 2017 went to the New York Historical Society. First, we went to Central Park and found out the stories behind statues and objects and overall enjoyed the park. When we went inside, we watched a short film on how New York developed and expanded. We learned about primitive computers and their origins. For example, the first computer was mad to calculate the population of America by turning dials and reading punch cards. We also learned about the development of long range communications like the first rotary phones and the original "face time." I enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the ancestors of what we try to excel in today.
