suppose you are a time traveling us cable news reporter?

[Jessie]

Suppose you are a time-traveling US CABLE NEWS reporter sent out to get three human-interest interviews for a new program, OUR PAST! YOUR FUTURE? You are able to travel in time due to your exclusive US CABLE NEWS time-traveling machine, a special hand-held computer for instant language translation and a voice-activated video camera implanted in your right eye. This travel machine is able to touchdown at only one location for all three interviews; select the location either somewhere on the Tigris & Euphrates or near the Nile River Valley. Travel to three time periods: 8,000 bce for a camp of hunters and gatherers, 4,000 bce for village life & 2,200 bce for city dwellers. Describe what your landing spot looks like for each “touchdown”/ interview and notice the changes from one time period to the next and next. Find a specific someone from each time period to interview. Ask each for background information on their group (size of the group, leaders, occupations, education, spiritual information and what they do for “fun”). Finally have each interviewee describe the group’s most sophisticated “technology”. What seems to be the biggest change taking place from the first visit to the last? NOTE: the last stop is an historical period, so provide concrete reality not just imagination with the information
