1. If the last 30 years of the nineteenth century is considered the Age of the Railroads, what name might you give the present age?
I would give this age the Age of Technology because we're all focused on cars, computers, cellphones, all these gagdets play big roles in our lives.


2. Read Another Perspective on page 444 and then write a paragraph objecting to a modern development common in your lifetime.
A modern development now which I don't like are video games. They're all about violence which little children really shouldn't be learning about. They give children nightmare and the wrong impression about how to treat people. They also easily manipulate little children and older people to think that guns and other weapons are ok to use.

3. What current technology exerts the most influence on all aspects of American life?
I think that television exerts the most influence on all aspects of American life. Everyone watches it for some reason, the news, or just a soap opera.
