History in the Making

History is a series of events that people have lived through and we try to piece together what it was like based on the stories that have survived the years.  Imagine it is 50 years in the future and you are telling your grandchildren the history of your youth.  What are some key events, people, inventions and attitudes that you would want to share with the future generations?

  2. Life was okay... In Canada at least. The States... they went sour. They... we... thought it was funny. It was like a joke that went on for too long, but we didn't stop laughing soon enough. Trump become president January 20th, 2017... It stopped being funny. - Nathan

  3. 50 years ago, in 2017, the president of United States was Donald Trump. And there was some conflicts between the North Korea and the States. It was quite scary. And I vaguely remember, but in about middle of the September a new Iphone came out. Iphone 8!

  4. What was life like when I was younger? Well, there was a very controversial election in the United States Of America. In this election a very outspoken president was elected, Donald Trump. Though he was not perhaps the most politically correct, he definitely kept all of us on the edge of our seats. I remember there being fear of the break out of a third world war, North Korea had begun testing long range missals that were falling just short of the united states and other countries. And on top of it all a hurricane had just hit Texas causing billions of dollars worth of damage and thousands of people to be misplaced. Then again I'm making everything sound terrible, it wasn't all terrible. its just much less exciting now then it was then.

  7. I would probably talk about the interesting political atmosphere that has surrounded the last few years and will probably continue.
    Anything from Trump's election to Russia's interesting military activity and glorious leader Vladimir Putin.

  9. I would tell my grandchildren that in my time, there were hundreds of inventions to make life simpler for everyday people such as in our microwasves, phones or transportation. Unfortunately, many of these inventions did not benefit people in 3rd world countries although they were working on it. Despite experiencing some racism and sexism here and there involving sports and work; it has decreased dramatically from the hundred years prior. Finally a single person that is a key importance to our history is the matter of a game show host, going by the name of Doland Trump, being elected by the people of the Free World to lead their countries so our standards in leaders has lowered an insane amount.

  10. In my time, things were interesting to say the least. we were sending soldiers over seas to help conficts in the middle east which were rising and thousands of people were dying. countries began to split to the left and to the right. people were beginning to lose faith in their own government. USA is on the Brink of war with North Korea, Russia is sending troops into countries low key taking them over yet no one does anything about it. -LandonN
