Cold War Entry #6


Every time I pick up this assignment to work on it I get so drawn into it that the time disappears. I am excited by the topic I chose and every piece that I research leads me to another and another. I'm afraid my biggest problem as I work towards completion is that I may have too much material. I believed I chose a narrow topic to cover but it expands every week. Now my task will be to narrow it back down again. I am really excited about one aspect of the project. I will be completing 4 power points as a final project. I have been trying to import the short video clips of the nuclear test blasts into my power points. I have the video clips from 6 tests of atomic and hydrogen bombs. I finally succeeded yesterday. I am not sure how it will play out on the big screen but I am just excited that I got it to work. Included in this blog is a picture of the blast over Hiroshima from August 6, 1945.
