INTERVIEW ASSIGNMENT: TECHNOLOGY OF THE PAST

Have your students explore and examine how technology has evolved and its effects with this fun interview assignment. Students interview someone born at least 30 years before them to ask them about technologies they used growing up that are now obsolete. The 5 questions revolve around the interviewee considering the differences in technology then and now and reflecting on how things have changed as well as on their own personal interaction with technology.

Once students have completed the assignment, have them compile the information and present it to the rest of the class. This allows for lots of class discussion on the evolution of technology and its effect on an individual.
