In the last chapter we were introduced to Silicon Valley in 1951. I thought it would be helpful to know the history of the Valley. It begun with the fruit business and end up spreading the new invented semiconductors all over the States. In addition it mentions the father of the Silicon Valley. It was Frederick Terman, who inspired some of his students to change the system of just getting a job on creating a new job, where people wouldn't have a boss at all.The modern mind set of young entrepreneurs comes from his ideology and people still have it. Another thing was first electrical computer ENIAC, which was greatly build and helped to advertise California as the best place to go for the young generation.

The Children of Auschwitz

The world war II is the bloodiest war in a human history. In the link above there are the short stories of people who have seen the war inside and out and probably much deeper than other nations. The Holocaust is the one part, that people will never forget and now society is just lucky to still have the rest of them as the survivors. Not many of them can share with their stories but there are some volunteers who are showing us that the human forgiveness exist and people may have better life after such experiences.

The Child Labor

The Child Labor was one of the memorable things that i have read. In a previous chapter there is not enough of information to imagine it right. The link above leads to some photographs of Lewis Hine, who has the greatest pictures of child labor and they look like good art-portraits at the same time.
In my opinion the progressive era not only shows us how great is United States by having the plumbing and telegraphs but it also tells us how American artists tried to fight social problems by creating art. Really tells us about the progressiveness of that time.
