The telegraph exhibit!

We visited the Musee Arts et Metiers. This museum was an industrial design museum, which was why I was confused as to why we visited this museum as a class as I didn’t think it related to NBB. However, after thinking about the technological advances that have happened, I came to the realization that this visit really did relate to neuroscience and behavioral biology. With the invention of the telegraph, people no longer had to travel far distances to just hear a loved one’s voice. Business flourished because there was less of a necessity to meet in person. In addition, innovations in travel such as the development of the high speed rail allowed for people to meet people in person. The invention of cell and smart phones have changed people’s behaviors drastically, as some people, including me, can stay at home all day and still feel connected.
