Document Summary

History we learned from high school is very inaccurate. We only know the success stories (monetary terms). Innovations have to be introduced at the right time with a worldview that matches them. Great innovations can fail and horrible innovations can thrive (airships, of which all 129 of them crashed. The german government and people funded airships that would ultimately crash. Then the nazis invested in them as a propaganda tool). Introduce students to critical thinking and modern historiography: theories and approaches that can be applied across the board, historiography looks at things from a modern lens which lech thinks is wrong. Better to look at how the people of the time thought about them. Some discussion for developments in science and natural philosophy. No previous knowledge of history of science or technology is required. Minor historical background (dates and names) are given. Has been to most areas and has seen the impacts of the technologies.
