Sadly I missed Mondays class because I was sick but today I was able to make it thankfully!

The reading for today, “As we may think” bored me when I had read it prior to class, I kind of struggled my way through the piece but when I finally made it through I do understand the point of the reading as whole. The way this piece was written was particularly intriguing because it introduced ideas well known to us, like how different portions of science have evolved in the past like with photography the author speaks about how that form of science essentially will never not be changing and adapting which is so cool to think about because years ago people probably would not even believe the type of cameras we have now. The rest of the article kind of just went over my head unfortunately.

But,I thought todays class was particularly interesting because of the time era we spoke on. In the beginning of class we spoke about WWII which I’ve always had a curiosity about weirdly enough. I’ve always loved hearing stories about it so for Professor O’Malley to be so well versed in that portion was very intriguing for me.

Next we spoke about telephones and things regarding the sound and the issues that they faced trying to get the sound to amplify but not sound distorted. I don’t know if its just my straight ignorance on this topic or what but honestly I generally never had thought about the things people had to create and change in order to simply hear someone.

Really don’t have any critiques for this week since it was so straight forward this week, I just wish sometimes I had just a little bit more knowledge of each topic enough so I felt confident enough to partake in the conversation. Maybe over time, who knows.
