THE END

The Future

‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’

- George Santayana

As humans we have built amazing things with our technology

However we haven't always used it in the best ways

We must remember as we advance and explore new worlds

Strength

CF-18 Hornet

Weapons

Canada's current fighter jet

Participated in battles in the Gulf War,

former Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq and Syria

One man in a fighter has the power to change so much, in this case for the good

The slave owners had sufficient weaponry suppress the slaves

A gun could make two men who are physically the same different

- The more advanced a civilization is the easier they can control others

- The ones without the technology are left to be easily exploited which can be good or bad

Quality of life

Skiing

Skiing is a popular sport

Through our technological advancements skiing has become more accessible

Skis, lifts, grooming machines all allow us to have a leisurely sport to enjoy

Leisure in the Book of Negroes

Only the white people could have any leisure

The slaves had no time for fun just hard painful work

Another example of how the ones with power don't necessarily care for the lives of their captives

As this presentation zooms out for the final time you will see that we have traveled through Aminata's journey all made possible by technology.

- Technology greatly effects quality of life

- The more advanced in science people are the easier it is survive

- From medicines to leisurely items it improves our quality of life

How does technology help Aminata?

Captain John Clarkson

He was influential

to Aminata's journey

because of his technology.

His ship, navigation skills, and trained crew allowed him to help Aminata travel back to Africa and England.

Transport

- Technology has given people the power to transport

- Ships, Planes, Trains, Buses, and Cars are all used by us everyday

Slave Vessels

Not always is technological

power used for a good cause.

Nevertheless, slave traders

used this power to transport

slaves.

TGV - High Speed Train

The TGV in France is an

example of great

technological power

Top Speed: 574.8 km/h

Day long trips are

reduced to just hours

The Africans in the Book of Negroes fell victim to technology.

Their own technology was not at the same level and they could not protect themselves.

They lived happily in their own village not worrying about the

world's problems.

Technology

It's an even more relevant topic today, as our planet is rocked with terrorism.

We must take action before someone takes action against us.

The Verdict:

- The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes

- From the Greek words Techne meaning "science of craft" and Logia meaning "art, skill, cunning of hand"

- Humans strive to advance technology because of the power it gives

We have made many things with technology

Technology rules the world

Everyone strives for it

We must be on top so that we are not taken advantage of like the Africans were
