Would Sir Stamford Raffles, back then, would have thought that technology in museums could be used to find out about him? Probably not. But it is true! Technology is now used to recreate historical scenes in museums. For example, there was a time when I had a school trip to this place where all the generals made the decision to surrender. They made wax figures and shone lights on them to show us what happened back then. It was really engaging and got me really intrigued by our history!
Nowadays, seeing technology in museums is quite a common sight. It is quite ironic actually, using the future to learn the past. But it is useful, I am sure. A lot of my classmates were quite interested and actually willingly went to check online about the place called the Battle Box after our trip. Isn't it amazing that technology can make even the most boring history things interesting?
Eda ^_^
First of all, history lesson is not boring. In fact, I personally enjoy learning about what happened on earth 10000 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I personally agree that it is very fun and interactive if there are wax figurines and realistic lighting to help us visualise. It makes the scene seem very realistic and cool

Cheryl and I have ever been to the Bird's Nest in Beijing together and there was a room where they displayed wax figurines of people who came up with the idea of the Olympic Games (who are probably dead right now). I personally think that it is kind of freaky looking at wax figurines of dead people O_o but I think it is actually kind of scary because it is very realistic. I feel that technology has really advanced after time. This is really amazing what technology can do. They can teach us many things like history! :)
