For Inquiry this term Room 13 are learning about how we keep connected with people throughout the world using different modes of communication.
We brainstormed in pairs questions to ask our parents and grandparents about what they remember about communication forms they used/still use now.
Please answer as many questions as you can so we can discuss the answers and rank modes of communication another way.
1. At the age of 10 what communication did you think was going to up grade? (Liam and McLeod)
2. When did you get your first coloured T.V.? (Grace and Mykala)
3. When you were 10-15 years how did you keep in contact with friends? (Clara, Moss and Harry)
4. When did you get your first computer? (Annie and Scarlett)
5. What was the most common type of communication when you were a teenager? (Timmy and Caleb)
6. How you ever received a letter from a birdie? (Isaac and Sergio)
7. What year did you play your first electronic game? (Robbie and Jamie)
8. When did you get your first cellphone? Was it a brick? (Mackenzie and Joe)
9. How did you keep in contact with family around NZ or the world? (Shelley and Molly)

1. I don't know that I really thought about it. I guess the only thing that had relevance to me was the television.
ReplyDelete2. I was maybe around 10 or 11 years old. It was a Phillips K9 colour tv I think.
3. At 10 year old I just saw my friends at school - I didn't really ring them much. The phone was a bit of a scary thing because when I was growing up, we had one of those old box phones that were on the wall and we had what was called a party line, where all the houses on our road were on the same line but had different rings. I was too afraid to answer the phone in case it was for a different house. Then we got a dial phone in our new house when I was a bit older. By 15 I was definitely using the phone.
4. We didn't get a computer at home until about 17 years ago and PCs were pretty uncommon.
5. There was only the telephone or meeting up with friends. You had to be really organised to meet with people because you couldn't contact them on the go. I did have pen friends that I would write to.
6. I'm not sure what this means - I would say no.
7. The first electronic game would have been on an Atari (I think) and it was tennis. That would have been when I was maybe 10 or 12?
8. My first cell phone wasn't that long ago, probably 8 years ago.
9. We wrote letters or phoned. When my sisters were overseas we would ring long distance and it was very difficult because there would be such a gap between me talking and them talking that we would often overlap each other. And it was very expensive.
10. I guess the telephone locally, or writing letters if overseas.
