Introduction• I have chosen to do a podcast on the decades of

the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s due to the large turn-over in the Presidential office and the beginning of technology. Regardless of the mess that our country experienced, technology advances still were created.

• The computer age had a break-through that allows electronics to be small and the also keep memory through random access memory. This will allow electronics to be accessible by all consumers later.

Kennedy didn’t just fund many advance projects, but he gave the American people a goal to be better and to be number one and move forward.

Civil Rights• Even though Kennedy was dealing with foreign affair

issues he also had to deal with issues with the Civil Rights Movement on America’s soil.
