A group of students in Aula 106 are exploring the concept of "yore" or the opposite of modernity. They are researching and discussing obsolete objects that are no longer in use. They believe that tradition should be remembered and acknowledged. The students reflect on the changes in daily gadgets and items and question whether these changes have been for the better. They discuss objects such as alarm clocks, typewriters, gramophones, telephone poles, punch cards, retro telephones, cinema film reels, cassettes, and MP3 players. They highlight the advancements in technology and the impact they have had on our daily lives. They emphasize the importance of recognizing the value of the past while embracing the improvements of the present. Good morning everyone. We say hi from Aula 106, where we have set up everything necessary to tell you all about yore. What is yore, you may ask? Yore is the opposite of modernity. Today, the students of second B, ESO, will tell you all about obsolete objects that are no longer in use. And they will do that in English, of course. They may tell us the secrets behind these objects, thanks to the research they've done, and the questions asked to their nearest relatives. The title of our project is What's the Use? because we believe tradition will never die completely if we remember it and acknowledge it. Our students have learned plenty about the ancestors and ancestors, sorry, of our daily gadgets and items. This way, they can reflect on whether changes have been for the best or not. In this project, we try to revive the series of analogical objects that have been replaced by modernity. Did our grandparents use them? Did our parents use them? Why don't we use them anymore? What do we use instead, and why? Only because we prioritize the immediateness of life? Nowadays, we rush to everything. We should stop and be grateful for this invention. Let's get started with a relevant quote from Canada that will make us all wonder, awful and lonely. All things are better than nothing because they've got stories in them. Good morning all. If you take a closer look into the timeline, you can see that we go from 1787 to 2001. That means we embrace four centuries. 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Almost 220 years of stories. If we analyze the timeline, we see there is a clear decay. We take that gadget and pay attention to many discoveries and inventions. We were born in the 1880s and 1890s. Let us start with a short reflection on that what we don't use anymore. Nowadays, we constantly rely on technology to survive our daily lives. Even more so since the invention of the Internet in 1983. We have completely forgotten about the analogy of heat. We were fully aware of conducting the chores and activities we do now with mobile phones or computers. No one will tell you about the heat alarm clocks. This object was used to wake us up at the time of the heat. This object was called a clock. With the time that you have selected, comes the clock rate. It was created in 1787 by Levitt Hutchins. This object was hated by so many people because it was so irritating. It reminds us all about the obligation of having to go to work every single day of our lives at a very early hour in the morning. Perhaps nowadays we use mobile phones to wake up. There aren't alarm clocks anymore. The typewriter was created on June 23, 1868. The typewriter prints letters on paper with the key. It presses and activates the type that contains the letter. Many writers of that time used it. In the 1970s, the world processor of computers replaced machines. Mark Twain was the first writer to use a typewriter in the world. Personally, I have only seen this object in museums. We don't have one at home. The year of creation of the gramophone was 1888. The use of the vitrola was for the reproduction of music. Its most common color is gold. Today, it is a very valuable object, even more so for collectors. Currently, a vitrola can cost around 300 euros. I would love to have one, but they are too rare. This invention was created on the 16th of August, 1889. The purpose of the machine is what we have heard on congress in Frankfurt, Connecticut, USA. The purpose of the telephone pole is that you can block out electricity without the notice of the traffic or the city. The purpose of this machine is that you can work in the same place. But when something becomes popular, it starts losing popularity. The telephone pole was replaced by the mobile phone in 1990. My mom says she remembers using them all the time, and nobody sees it. She misses them. It was used from 1890 to 1980. They were used to register the entry and exit of workers in factories, giving rights to the expression mark card. It was invented in 1725 by Hermann Feuerlitz, soon Ost and Oran Marker, and was used for the first time in the United States. One of the thin cards and its characteristics. Made with cardboard. Its dimensions, 19 meters, 215 meters. Round holder and two columns, yellow color. I don't think my grandparents used them. Uncertainly, they don't have any example for me to see the performance cards in person. A retro telephone. This telephone was invented in 1891 and was discontinued in 1970. It was invented by Alexander Abraham Bell and Thomas Watson. It was between Cambridge and Boston. The rotary telephone, it is a rotating disc with 10 holes numbered from 0 to 9. If you wanted to use it, you had to put your finger on the number you wanted to dial until you couldn't continue turning the wheel. Candlestick telephone. The first ever invented telephone. If you need to speak with another people on this telephone, you need to speak on another microphone. And if you want to hear the other people, you need to cut the earpiece and put in your ear. My parents don't have any of this at home now, but they remember my grandparents using them. Cinema film reels, also known as movie reels or film spools, were initially developed as a way to project motion pictures to audiences. Cinema film reels were invented in December 1895 by the Lumiere brothers. Film reels were the main medium for video recording for about 100 years before digital filming methods took over. Huge collections of film used to be the only way to watch movies for decades. The earliest reels were made of highly flammable nitrate film stocks, which posed significant safety hazards. The standard size of cinema film reels developed over the years. Initially, reels were relatively and could only hold a short length of film. As filmmaking techniques improved and longer movies became more common, larger reels capable of holding more footage were introduced. Film reels played a crucial role in the distribution of exhibitions of movies, allowing filmmakers to share their work. However, with the rise of digital cinema in the recent years, traditional film reels have become less common, replaced by the digital format for projection in the theaters. It was created in 1962 by the Lumiere brothers and is now open. The cassette is made of 13 clips of classic romantic ritual and drama. Which comes with several musical notes. These tragic effects have been layered on materials that absorb the power of the images or are omitted. This production of the cassette was used for recording and playback the recording made. The first one was manufactured in 1963. It was a piece of equipment that was used in transport. And many people used it because of that. Since the cassette was smaller in size than previous methods, it was used by some journalists. And some journalists today still use it instead of their mobile phones. The MP3 is an object created in 2001 by the scientist Karl Leitz von der Burg. The MP3 was created in Germany. This object was created so that you could listen to music without the need for a large device, like a cassette or CD before. This object was easily portable. This object increased sales and was sold all over Europe. Later it was sold all over the world. Next step was the iPod. Thank you so much for all that wisdom, guys. What we learned from all these objects and their replacements is that the past is a place of reference, not a place of residence. We must acknowledge their value and not take them for granted. But it is necessary as well to embrace the improvements made so as to make our busy schedules easier, more efficient and productive in less time. Thank you so much for listening.
