Actually taking my inspiration from something Heidi said in class yesterday for this week's post. She brought up the concept of visual learning when she showed us a graph pertaining to social media buying concerning sites like Groupon and Living Social. The idea of looking at something and putting the pieces together was ridiculously prevalent for all of us during this period. Most of us were learning to read and write as well as beginning to add and subtract. Our minds were developing at a phenomenal rate due to the impact of images and our ability to make associations with what was being presented to us. My post this week is essentially a group of pictures/videos that will not only relay the significant events of the time frame, but also shed some light on how relevant concepts stay in our minds.
A gallon of gas was $1.22
The average price of a movie ticket was $4.59
Princess Diana killed in a car crash in Paris
Mother Teresa dies in Calcutta
Notorious B.I.G. killed in a drive-by shooting
El Nino forms in the oceans between Austrailia
Mike Tyson bites off Evander Holyfield's ear during a bout and suspended from boxing
Tiger Woods becomes youngest golfer(21) to ever win the Masters
Microsoft becomes the world's most valuable company valued at $261 billion
In 1997 I was driving a Honda Civic. I could fill the tank of that car for $10. Ah, memories. (Oh, and the gas tanks didn't look like that. I did, however, only patronize gas stations with pay at the pump. They were harder to find then.) Another great trip down memory lane.
Reading through this brings back so many memories.
