  5. Part 3 Apollo 11, a Russian craft, land on the moon in 1969. The atomic bomb was first used by the U.S in 1945. In the cold war submarines were used for intelligence rather then military reasons. Inside groups would gather and tap into soviet telephones and communication systems.

  6. The first cell phone was developed in 1979. Part 3 In 1972 word processor was developed. This is an aircraft carrier which was heavily utilized by the United states and Japan. In 1957 the polio vaccine was created by Dr. Albert. In 1983 the first soft bifocal contact lenses were created.

  7. Part 4 Analysis • More medical advances were made throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Achievements include artificial hearts, blood transfusions, heart transplants, polio vaccines, Prozac, and abortion pills. • Medical changes took place because technology improved and there was a greater need of medical use and research to deal with problems of the home coming soldiers, the wounded, polio victims like F.D.R., mental potions, and the increase of babies during this baby-boomer time. • During the Cold War, a major tension was between the US and Russia space race. The Russians put the first man in space, but the US caught up and put Neil Armstrong, the first man, on the moon. • Reasons for the development of Space programs were made because of the want to explore space, but mainly to outdo each other (Russia and US) during the Cold War. • Weapons development was a large part of the Cold War. Nuclear submarines, atomic bombs, long range missiles, advanced aircrafts, and deadlier ammunitions. • Weapons were made in efforts of defensive and preparation of war.

  8. Part 4 Analysis Cont. • The Cold war was known as the communications revolutions as there were a plethora of advancements in communication, traveling, and storage. Cell phones, personal computers, and storage systems were innovated throughout this period as well as newer systems of traveling which include aircrafts, cars, trains, and boats. • Communication was needed by the military to send quick and clear systems to each other on the battlefield as well as store data and inscribe messages so that outsides couldn’t detect their messages. • Food production was made better and safer during this timeframe. The microwave was made making reheating foods easier. Biotechnology and food enhancers were used throughout the world on crops and food products in farms and valleys. • Like medical advancements, food advancements were made to make the general public safer and healthier as technology increased. Technologies were produced practically because the US wanted to have a stable source of food in case of a war with Russia.

  9. Part 4: Comparison of Cold War to 50 Previous Years Similarities: • -Continued vaccines • -Military advancements as the years went on. • -Communication has always been spreading, but after the Cold War it increased due to new inventions, such as cellphones and computers. • There has always been competition amongst countries. Differences: • -Atomic energy and weapons used during the Cold War were more advanced then to previous 50 years. • -Cellphones and computers increased communication during the Cold War. • Blood transfusions and heart transplants were invented, making people have a higher chance of living than before. • During the Cold War, due to the thirst of beating the Soviet Union, the USA also had the ambition to explore space; therefore, did not let the Russians get too far ahead with spaceships.

  10. Part 5 Role that element plays in today's world. • A lot of the technologies from the time period of the cold war were modified or are still used today. • The same polio vaccine is still used today to cure Polio. • Cell phones have gotten smaller, faster, and more convenient. They can hold more data, texting has changed communication as we know it. • Nuclear power plants and explosives are seen as major threats to the United States. They also provide energy as well. • With the recent earthquake in Japan, the nuclear power plant has become hazardous to the surrounding populations.

  11. Part 5- Continued! • Since Apollo 11, numerous space crafts have reached the moon including luna 16, 17, 20, and 21. • The US currently thinking of launching the next manned mission to the Moon after 2019, while Russia is planning to send astronauts to the Moon by 2025. They want to establish a permanent lunar base. • Today not only are their nuclear weapons causing threats but also biological warfare has become a form of war.
