Invention Interviews

Interview 2 family members (your choice who they are), and ask them about what invention they feel changed the course of their lives when they were younger. Which inventions were the most significant to them? Report your findings in the comments section. They do not have to be connected to your answers from last night.

Before you write anything, go have a walk around your house. Check out the garage, the backyard, the bathrooms, your whole house. Make a quick list of three things you think were invented when your parents were younger, and three things that have been invented since you've been alive (or close to it). Then, post them below.
