This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on where you were.\n\nIn modern societies:\n\nMusic\n\n1930's\n\nSwing, big band music and crooners were all popular. Bing Crosby was the most popular singer. Radio play was important for deciding hits with markets dominated by major networks. \n\n1950's \n\nThe 1950's saw the rise of rock and roll with Elvis Presley becoming the most popular artist of the 1950s. Crooners and other traditional pop were still popular in the first half of the decade with Frank Sinatra being the most notable.\n\nTransport\n\n1930's\n\nMotor cars were becoming more popular although the Depression delayed their spread. Railways and other forms of public transport were still popular. Few people travelled overseas and when they did it was by ship.\n\n1950's\n\nCars were dominant.

There are new inventions / discoveries practically every day.  The best catalog of them I've seen used to be the McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology.  But the IEEE and ACM both have great tech newsletters talking about new discoveries and inventions.\n\nIf you're tlaking about non-tech stuff, you only need look as far as the discovery of new islands just off Togo... a couple of weeks ago, a yachter discovered "pumice rafts" drifting in the ocean from an underwater volcano, and within a week an island had formed.\n\nFor a start, check out the Science News section of Yahoo.

In the 1940's with ENIAC.  It was one of the first "high-speed" computational devices and is considered the first major milestone in the development of digital computers.  It was used mainly by the U.S. military during WWII for artillery trajectory calculations.\n\nHowever things really took off after the development of the silicon transistor (1954), which are still in use today.

I'm curious.... If it's due tomorrow, how long have you had to research it?  In any case, you are in luck!  This is the technological age and you can GOOGLE IT!\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

Not much happened during the war years. There were several changes during the 1950s. I can only tell you what I know from my own experience. I left school aged 15 in 1953.  I was in a selective Central School and to enter I had to pass an 11 plus examination.  Some of my friends did a further examination to go on to either a Technical School to specialise in technical subjects or a Grammar School to specialise in languages and literature. Many of my friends stayed on at school to do the General Certificate of Education that was then being introduced into schools in preparation for a wider opportunity for children to enter higher education.  I expect that you should be able to find more information on the Internet especially on the Department of Education and Science web site.  I do not know the address but if you type in the words in your search engine it should come up with options.

This question is extremely open. There have been developments in marine machinery ever since the first man went away from shore on the trunk of a fallen tree.\n\nPlease provide more information.
