Celia Black

   For this project, I have learned about Celia Black. Celia Black was an African American slave in Tyler, Texas. This interview took place in October 11, 1974. During this, she was interviewed by Elmer Sparks. Even tho Elmer Sparks interviewed Celia, Celia's daughter was also there with her mother.

   One of the facts that I have learned about Celia is that when she was younger she rode big old oxen with her family. The ox she preferred to ride was called Corley and the other one her family owned was called Let. Celia said that her grandfather was known to go everywhere with his oxen. Letting all the children ride the both of them.
   Another fact, is that she was born behind a rich white women.

How technology will have an effect on future generations

I think that to my great grand children will find the current technology outdated kind of how I my Grandparent's technology is outdated. if i were alive I'd probably find new technology very confusing to learn because I'm used to the technology now and I wouldn't like to move to the future changes .I would be very confused possibly how current Grandparents see now technology

Noah Escareno, Reflection on Technology

     In the 1940 interview with Joe McDonald, he thinks back to his time as a slave worker in Livingston, Alabama, and tells his optimistic stories.

     Joe was raised in the main house and was educated very well and taught manors. His owners wanted him to grow up and make something of himself. They wanted him to be respected by the white men, and have good friends like they have.

     At the age of nineteen, Joe went to plow in the field for the first time. He would plow with Mrs. D's horse named John, also known as old John.

Caleb Morgan- Reflections on Technology

     Today I listened to the interview with Billy McCrea, and learned some interesting things, but before we get into that, I'll tell you a few things about him. At the time of the interview he lived in Jasper, Texas, and was eighty-nine years old. He used to work on a steamboat where he would tote salt, but does not remember where.
     The first important thing I learned was Billy used to cook on the steamboats. He said it was his job for six years. The boats used to run from Beaumont to a place he called Gulfport in Jasper. Second, he said he had thirty-six kids. Eighteen were boys and two of them lived in Beaumont. Lastly, he used to pick cotton for his master, Old Col. M. He said they were free when the Yankees went home.
     I think that technology has a very huge impact on the way your history is told to your kids and grandkids. Back then the recordings were very new technology, but now you can easily just record yourself and put it on a hard drive. I think one of the easiest ways for my great grandchildren to see me as a teenager is to create a YouTube channel and have them look it up. By the time I have great grandchildren it will be so easy for them to access something with my life as a kid on it.

Celia Black

     While I'm listening to the voice recording, I just noticed that she treated all people equal. If you were either black or white, she treated you nice because she knew she had God on her side. She states that she was thrilled to help anyone in need because she knew she was care about from others too. And she was known by the president as a good independent women.
     She states she was born in front of a rich white woman and that same woman brought her own mother to the South, in Texas. Soon her father was brought to the state to help as a yard boy. Her ma was a house girl that worked with Mrs. C. Celia questions how they got together but they stayed on the plantation until they died.
     Celia was born to pick cotton in the fields. She picked cotton for Mrs. C for years and years to come. Soon she found her husband and they would go to the South to pick cotton together.
     One way that technology will impact on my grandchildren is the lack of work that they will do when technology enhances even more. With the constant evolution of technology, this will make the new generation of humans lazier and only rely on technology to do most of their everyday work.
