Chapter 23

This chapter was very exciting to explore. This chapter contained new technology like the automobile, musical entertainment like the Jazz era, and immigration. This era resembled today's society. (well it had a lot of similarities) The invention of automobile had a great impact in this society. It helped to distribute goods, transport civilians and help women in this era. For example they were able to work outside of their home, they were able to drive go to work and come back on time for preparation for dinner. They also had the opportunity to go to school! (huge stepping stone) In this era there was also the increase of urban population rather than rural population. The Jazz era was very exciting to read, I pictured mardi gras; reading about the music, alcohol, and "flappers". Then media took over and let me tell you changed technology forever. Mass media influenced society and had social effects. It basically created high standards for society. The development of radio networks and production of magazines and movies also increased. They era basically created what we have today; internet, radio, and movies. Mass media is very popular today and advertising and marking.  Even in the era they were struggling with post war dilemma they seemed to have everything under control and seemed to gain positive outcomes rather than negative ones. They bounced back pretty fast!
