Goff!Moss!Terry!Upshur! 102-115

WWI changed the way the world saw war.  So many new inventions and ideas combined to alter the face of war as the war was going on.  German U-boats gave them effective spying tactics, which was an advantage no one else had.  Their submarines influenced the U.S. into joining the war.  Germany was also effective at blockading the British with the submarine.  Machine guns, although they had many flaws, were able to mow down the enemies' rushing teams.  Their presence in the war caused a stalemate between the powers.  I think technology changes the way we interact with other people.  Today, cell phones and the internet have changed communication between people to an extent that more and more people are losing their "people skills" and can't carry on a normal conversation.  However, technology has given many nations the advantage in conflicts or in emergency situations.  Likewise, the war was affected by improving naval forces, guns that took out millions of enemies, tanks that could plow through the toughest of geographic barriers, and many other inventions.

  1. Aww poor Rem, you have no comments! I'll be your first. :) I definitely agree with you when you say that technology changes the way people interact with each other. This applies to war because it allows people to fight without being so close to them; war has evolved from fists and swords and being up close and personal, to tanks and guns and bombs that take away that personal interaction. I also like how you related that change to technology today. It's definitely true that some people don't have good people skills due to the change in communication. Also, nice background. :) Go Bambi.
