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
