Post # 39: 1st Radio vs. Technology Today

On this day in 1910, the first radio broadcast was heard by a few people in New York city who had radio receivers. Later in 1915, Lee De Forest, the inventor of the vacuum tube, began to broadcast nightly opera concerts. Compare this early technology of listening to music to that which we have today.  When you are finished with your post, go to Typing Web and complete the lesson titled "Nitro Type Content." Don't forget to complete "Accuracy Drills" if you finish on Tuesday.

We will continue work on our Google Sites today.

Post #37: National Milk Day

Did you know today is NATIONAL MILK DAY?

The first day that milk was delivered in bottles was on January 11, 1878.  Each year, on the anniversary of that day people across the United States observe National Milk Day to celebrate America’s number one beverage.

Here is some milk trivia that you can share with your family and friends:

—  United States and Australia are the world’s largest exporters of milk and milk products.

—  Throughout the world, there are more than 6 billion consumers of milk and milk products.

—  In the Middle Ages, milk was called the virtuous white liquor because alcoholic beverages were more reliable than water.

—  1863 – French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization, a method of killing harmful bacteria in beverages and food products.

So Tell Me... Do you like milk?  Why or why not?

When you are done with your post go to typingweb.com and compete the lesson titled

 "Jokes and Laughs."
