Lesson Topic
Connections: The Trigger Effect
Lesson Outline
We watched the first episode of the BBC "Connections" video series. This video demonstrated how completely dependent we are on technology in our everyday lives by documenting a November 1965 power failure in NYC. It explored hypothetically how hopeless modern, urban humans would be if left to our own devices and stripped of our technology. And then went back 12,000 years when climate change necessitated mass migration and how the development of the plow kicked off the journey that brought mankind to the 21st century.
