National Technical Museum

In the National Technical Museum I went into the Technology for Households room. Many of the appliances the United States was a couple of years ahead in making them. Which I thought was interesting because now I think that we are behind in that area. It was really interesting to see all of the older appliance and how they looked. There was a kitchen set up for that need s wheel chair to get around, which looked very modern to me and pretty handy for those that aren't able to use the normal height for countertops. Another room that I went into was the Printing room. The Printing room was very interesting. I loved to see many of the older books that were printed by had. The printing presses were very large and elaborate designs. After seeing that room I appreciate how fast things can be printed now compared to back then.

  1. I enjoyed the appliance exhibit because they had a singer sewing machine and I have one that we use as a coffee table in my living room at home.

  2. I also enjoyed the appliance exhibit because we have an old sewing machine, but its not in nearly as good of shape as the ones in the exhibit. Also, seeing how long it took to print things did make me greatly appreciate our modern printing abilities.
