I was thinking about what we consider new technology and how it changes very day. Then I started to think about ten years ago, and even earlier, how many of the pieces of techonolgy we use daily were beyond imagination. This made me think of the Wampanoags who lived around Plymouth/Cape Cod around the time of the Mayflower landing (so looking at the 1620s). Out of nowhere they were introduced to both new technology and diseases. I think it be interesting to look at a group who was on the negative recieving end of Western technology and who lived in such a different time than ours.
