1950's today
In 1951, the first color television was introduced. CBS sent out the broadcast of the first commercial color television program. Sadly enough no one could watch it because of all of their black and white televisions.
This has an impact on today because if this wouldn't have happened, all of the shows we watch on a day to day basis would all be in black and white. We have to deal with the ocassional black and white television show on AMC, or when the shows you watch occasionaly deside to be dramatic and film in black and white. Other than that we have all color television. We see all of our shows in color, not black and white because of the integration of the color T.V.
We wouldn't be able to play video games on a black and white television and be able to appreciate all of the incredible graphics of the game. I'm pretty sure most of the people that play video games in this class would probably freak out if the color went out of in the middle of a game I honestly think that there would be a couple of sledge hammers stuck into T.V.'s on curbs in a couple of neighborhoods. That is in my opinion why color television is important today. For gamers everywhere and for the people like me who enjoy the occasional paranormal movie or show.
Do you agree with me that Color T.V. has impacted our lives this much today?
Cold War Connection.
The cold war has brought us stockpiles of nuclear weapons. Alot of the military and science was going on during this time. Jet airplanes, computers and internet relates to day. Also, the inventions from the 1950's, 60's, and 70's are all related somehow to today. The Sovet Union and America were fighting for thier beliefs. That is how it all started.
What would you say has affected us today from the cold war?

Disneyland Opens 1955
Disneyland was opened in 1955. Walt Disney dreamed of opening a park where kids and adults could both have fun. He started the project in 1953. He had to find a place to build, and get funding for Disneyland. They finally chose Anaheim California to build on, and were financed in part by Walt Disney's personal funds and by ABC. Construction on the park began in 1954, and it cost 17 million dollars to build it all in one year. The park officially opened on July 17th, 1955. On opening day Walt Disney said "To all who come to this happy place - welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. Thank you."
The opening of Disneyland connects to the world today because Disneyland is still a very popular fun place that people go. I got to go to Disneyland last year and I loved it. This is a good place that people can go to get away from everyday life.
Do you think Disneyland was a good idea and that Walt Disney's vision was fufilled?

First organ Transplant
Celebrating homecoming of the 1950s I would like to talk about the first human internal organ transplant. The first organ transplant was a kidney in 1954 by J. H. Harrison and Joesph Murray in Boston, Mass. but unfortunately the recipient died eight years later. Now what I want to ask you, is if you were the patient would you do this experimental surgery just so you can live eight more years?, and were do you think we would be without organ transplants?
