What were the most significant changes in America at the turn of the twenty-first century (1990 to present day)

by Bea Sting

Created on: March 23, 2010

Within 20 years, United States has changed dynamically than any time of the entire history. The country became a fast speed at anything. Transportation were one of significant change to citizens. The airplanes, trains, ships, and easily seeing cars made life much faster and easier. Some rich people spent their vacation on the moon which means rockets are one of other transportation. With increase in moving, the globe becomes one community. It helps citizens now to go not only inside of the country but outside. More surprisingly, even people don't go outside the country, they can get information from outside. However, the technology in computer has been a success. Using the computer, people get on to the Internet, and they can get whatever information they want. One example will be the site Wikipedia. The basic facts people need is on there. People start to use less of the library tools. Since people can share information from Internet, file sharing became a big role for each person. People can simply update their information, or use p2p to get information. Also for better technology, people improved in graphics. Movies are in colors, and they are sold in CD. While changing on objects, how people eat changed. People eat more instant food. Farmers are not farming just for themselves but for big companies. They mostly use auto-machines to farm the land. So increasing in not neutralized food, people consider more for their health. People start to make zero percent sugar for coca and more. They also try to get better at human infections. AIDS are no longer a disease that makes people die; now they continue to find a way to treat the disease. Continually people concern more about the pollution. Scientists are step by step try to renew the environment. On the other hand, people's hobby changed too. Children play video games anywhere; people start to do hip pop. With all people changed, there are many events which happened that have change people. The nine eleven terrorism affects the Americans but also affected the world. Many people died and the hate toward terrorism becomes worse. The division between the good side and the bad side spread wide. People's thought, actions, and how they over look at the event changed. Just several years have passed, yet one can express clearly to prove people changed is new election of the president Obama. Everyone knows the history of African American, and this was the one more step toward the future.
