1.) Abacus as the first computer.
This is my AHA! moment because as a Chinese I had learned how to use it when I was a little girl. Abacus is so close to my family roots and to learn that it was the first known computer invented, I was very proud of my ancestor!
2.) Titanic Disaster.
I had watched the movie Titanic when I was in middle school. It had left a sad impression of the catastrophic event due to arrogant and ignorance for safety. To learned that radio wasn't on 24 hours before this accident was quite a disappointment because we had to have a major disaster in order to realize the importance of something small. In this matter the 24 hour radio broadcast.
3.) Sam Sheppard's Trial
I cannot imagine myself being accused wrongly with so much publicity and so little defense against my testimonial. Having to serve jail for 12 years, having all the people to be against him and no justice is allowed for this poor soul, whom if not for the over publicity, would have a life that all Americans work for. In these modern times, no such unfair trial would ever happened again, because of Sam Sheppard case.
