Hey Alexa! The beginning of your blog post had me immediately hooked, I had to know where this was going. You did a great job keeping me interested by making me wonder how people are programmed in so many different ways, I’m going to be thinking about that one for a while after reading your article. I like to think that the phone was primarily a function of innovation, but now I’m not so sure. One thing I wasn’t sure on was your mentioning of NASA and the space race. I don’t think the space race was really the primary reason for the US becoming a melting pot of different cultures, though I did find it very interesting that even the most unassuming historic events can still exude technological determinism. Great job!
