The 20th century has by far been the most productive and revolutionizing millenium the earth has known. The 1990s was the wrap up period of a fantastic time in history. George H. W. Bush was president, people rocked fanny packs, and we were paying less than $1.50 a gallon for gas. Yes, the 90s are a decade we will never forget.
Food is such an important and tangible relic of history. When we think of different periods we commonly think of the food they ate. In the 1990s quick and easy meals were popular. The microwave was still fairly new and “T.V dinners” were becoming huge! Powdered drinks were also a favorite of many. Moms were a huge fan of fast lunches like lunchables, capri suns, string cheese, and snack foods like goldfish. This also was the beginning of healthier alternatives. Many people were trying organic and fresh choices. It was the beginning of smoothie and juice places. Also more nutritious restaurants like baja fresh. The 1990’s were a new and inventive time for consumers.
The 90s was a new time for hobbyists. The computer world was becoming more accessible for ...
We Americans have a fondness of looking back to certain times with bouts of nostalgia, clutching closely the burred images of better off and more secure conditions. We seek to revive those past years, hoping to cure all of our current societal ills. Why cannot we bring them back? The economy was good, and the family was happy, we say.

The first item that I wish to discuss is inventions. It is one thing to think of an invention, but creating it is a whole other story. Although challenging, it seemed like everyone in the 80’s was think...
In today’s technological society it is hard to imagine that trivial things from the past like discrimination or prejudice are still present, but they are. Yes we still have racism, but for the most part this is only a problem of the less educated and vocal minority. There is a different prejudice that is deep rooted in this land of freedom and prosperity. This prejudice is sexism.
As in every decade there are many struggles and accomplishments, but something can always be learnt. From terry fox to the unfortunate Canadian recession we have learnt that in the nineteen eighties Canada has strived politically and socially brining the nation together but economically many ups and downs had occurred, teaching us many things.
B. The purpose of this project is to research the evolution in American cuisine throughout the 1900s, towards a more convenience-based pattern of food consumption. The modernization of the United States, particularly in terms of the workforce, will be examined as it relates to a changing diet. Finally, some effects of these changes will be described.
The era of the 1990’s was an explosive time in American history both figuratively and literally. In the 90’s there was an extreme variety of different failures and also advances in technology. We as a nation had new advancements in space travel, our military and the way of life preparing for the turn of the century. As a country we didn’t know what the new millennium had to bring for us, but we were ready. Most significantly changing America though was from our creativeness that took place, the fear we had, and our militaristic ways.
...y, but by being close to the present it is still complex to fully analyze a decade as more time continues to progress we will further understand the 1990s and the impact it has especially within the gay community and culture.
So in conclusion that is my report over the events that happened in the 90’s. The whole idea of the 90’s was economic stress and wars and making sure that they did something to stop people that were in charge of the threats. But it was also about people living there dream and when somebody said that they couldn’t do something they just worked even harder to prove them wrong and prove themselves that they could do it. After all one of Michael Jordan’s most famous quotes “I can accept failure everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying”.
The principal gathering of the Homebrew Computer Club occurred on March 5, 1975, in a carport in Menlo Park, California. It was a result of these gatherings that Wozniak had a thought: he needed to make an easy to understand desktop PC that might be accessible to individuals who were not workstation hobbyists and would not have liked to manufacture their machine.(Lusted page 23)
Many of us don’t get out of bed in the morning without checking our phone and going on the internet to see what the weather will be like for today, calling our friend to see where to meet before school, and instantly turning on our favorite songs to get ready to. Thanks to the 1990s, all of those things are possible. The 1990s introduced technology such as the internet, cell phones, cd’s, and many other things that has changed the world, and made communication and finding information faster and more convenient.
One thing that they did change, back in 1990, was labeling on the variety pack foods. Before this law got passed, some food companies would present one nutrition chart, for multiple types of foods present in the variety pack, which left other foods unlabeled. Nathan Anderson

American culture is changing dramatically. In some areas it’s a good thing, but in other areas, like our food culture, it can have negative affects. It is almost as if our eating habits are devolving, from a moral and traditional point of view. The great America, the land of the free and brave. The land of great things and being successful, “living the good life.” These attributes highlight some irony, especially in our food culture. Is the American food culture successful? Does it coincide with “good living”? What about fast and processed foods? These industries are flourishing today, making record sales all over the globe. People keep going back for more, time after time. Why? The answer is interestingly simple. Time, or in other words, efficiency. As people are so caught up in their jobs, schooling, sports, or whatever it may be, the fast/processed food industries are rapidly taking over the American food culture, giving people the choice of hot
The computer evolution has been an amazing one. There have been astonishing achievements in the computer industry, which dates back almost 2000 years. The earliest existence of the computer dates back to the first century, but the electronic computer has only been around for over a half-century. Throughout the last 40 years computers have changed drastically. They have greatly impacted the American lifestyle. A computer can be found in nearly every business and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). Our Society relies critically on computers for almost all of their daily operations and processes. Only once in a lifetime will a new invention like the computer come about.
