First Blog

Hello everyone my name is Hassan Perez. Although, for a lot of my classmates this is their first semester or first year at Eastern, this, however, is not the case for me. I came to Eastern in 2006 originally as a Music Ed student. I decided to change my major to Business Mgt because i was overwhelmed by the course, but decided to change my major back to Music Ed because it's my passion. So for some of you this class may come easy to you, but for me I feel that this class may be a little rough for me, and honestly I feel a little lost but I'm sure I'll pick it up. Now that you all know a little about me I'll get to the blog.



It seemed that WWII sparked an increase in technology and inventions. Scientist and engineers invented computers to intersect messages being sent back and forth from enemy countries. With the advancement of this technology, it was bound to leap over into other industries. With this, technology began to evolve into something more commercial. IBM lead this commercial leap with their first real-time business computer, SABRE. IBM also created a reservation system for airlines that made makeing reservations and holding them much easier then manually. With the first Network created in 1969, which only connected four cities, it wasnt long before the computer and the internet would evolve again.

I dont remember his name,but there was a classmate that brought up the theory about war beining the influence for the growth of techonology and I have to say I agree. After every war we have seen some sort of incline in techonology due to the need for new war technology. When the technology was no longer needed, or the technology created for the Military was needed somewhere else, we see new technology being introduced to the world.
