EOTO Reflections

I learned a lot of new information from my classmates, the first thing that stood out to me was Peyton when they talked about the first camera phone. Samsung was the first phone created in Korea. You could only see the photos if you looked into a computer. At first you could only see twenty photos at a time. 

Another thing I learned about was the invention of the newspaper which was originally a form of communication useful to society. America had the first paper in 1690 and had some issues until 1791 when the freedom of the press came along. 

The final thing that stood out to me was the Carrier Pigeons. They were bred and trained. They have an internal magnetic compass and a homing system. At this time the easiest way to send information was by foot or carrier pigeon and they acted like today's drones. They are still used to this day, the last reported time was in March 2023 when they were smuggling drugs across countries.
