Vienna Technology Museum

Today we went to the Vienna Technology Museum. There I saw a section on transportation. One thing it noted and was so true was that not many people remember their first steps or getting their training wheels off but transportation is a big part of our lives and we many times forget to understand the technology and importance behind it. In this exhibit I learned how difficult it is to use a wheelchair as I crashed into everything in the simulation. I also learned about how fast various transportation methods are via simulation. There was also a simulation of 6 different modes of transportation racing and the history of each mode. Also, I learned how different animals moved, like a squid for example and their was a map like place where you could make/place these blocks to act like bridges to see how transportation would work. It was fascinating to see how human transportation was different from a clam, squid, or bird.
