OLD VERSUS NEW TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY Is everything that we use to carry out tasks. It is more than the tools we use. It is also the way we use tools. Technology has a huge impact on society. It has changed us. For example, think about the evolution of the car and how it has impacted our lives.

INDUSTRIALIZATION

THE RISE OF INDUSRTY Cottage Industries A new type of workplace emerged: A FACTORY Division of Labour: As a result work became repetitive, and workers lost their skills. Early factories were organized with machines in mind, not people. Factories were compared to jails.

TECHNOLOGY & IDENTITY The 1910s – 1920s brought new ways to travel & communicate. Farmers didn’t like cars because they frightened their horses. 1924 – a Ford automobile = $395!!! At that time a weekly wage was a minimum of $14. Cars = Better roads

Canadian Car Factory (1930)

TECHNOLOGY & IDENTITY Airplane Television: We like to hear about other parts of the country. It strengthens our feeling of being Canadian. MASS MEDIA: Newspapers, radio, televisions.

Fred McCall: Calgary Exhibition 1919

AN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY The expanding economy brought prosperity. It also brought social problems. As cities grew, they became overcrowded, dirty & unhealthy. Competition for wealth led to the most destructive wars the world has ever seen. Canada’s Growing Pains: The First World War (1914-1918)

FIRST WORLD WAR (1914-1918) Germany had the biggest army in the world! Germany surrendered in 1918. How did it start? An assassination. It was fought mainly in Europe, but had impact all over the world. Canada went to war as part of the British Empire. Canada’s factories made: guns, battleships, aircraft, submarines, & poisonous gases. Technology did not cause the war, but it made fighting far more deadly.

VIMY RIDGE: FRANCE (1917)

AN INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY The cities in Canada got bigger and bigger. During the 1920s, more Canadians began to live in cities rather than in the country. The complex Canadian identity slowly changed. SUBURBS: Residential neighborhoods at the city’s edge. Workers began to form UNIONS. A hope to improve the conditions people worked. STRIKE: Unionized workers refuse to work until things get better and they get what they want.

CANADIAN WOMEN STEP UP

CANADIAN WOMEN STEP UP Many women entered the workforce. Therefore, they began to demand the same rights as men. During First World War, men were away. This gave women the opportunity to work the jobs that the men did. After war, women had to go back to their domestic life.

FAMOUS FIVE

CANADIAN WOMEN STEP UP SUFFRAGE: the right to vote! Beliefs are much harder to change than laws. Men thought they should be the only ones involved in government. THE “PERSONS” CASE: Under the law, only “qualified persons” could be senators, and women were not considered “persons.” “FAMOUS FIVE”: 5 women, and in 1929, the court ruled that Canadian women were indeed persons.

BAD TIMES, GOOD TIMES 1930s, Canada along with much of the rest of the world, plunged into the GREAT DEPRESSION. Factories closed Wages fell Worker lost their jobs Others lost life savings Financial crisis around the world.

Social Services in Canada: GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES Making a Change: On To Ottawa! Trekkers: To make a slow or arduous journey. To journey on foot, especially to hike through mountainous areas. Social Services in Canada: Old-Age Pension Employment Insurance Family Allowance Public Health Care

RETURN OF WAR 1939: World went to War again! It started when Nazi Germany invaded its neighbors. For the first time, Canada entered a war as an independent nation. Lasted for 6 years. Canadian troops saw action in western Europe, Italy & Asia. New technology was put into place. The United States had the atomic bomb, the most destructive weapon of all.

AFTER WAR: BABY BOOMERS
