Description:
For the 1940’s I chose the Slinky, Silly Putty, and a Frisbee disk. All three of these inventions are just fun inventions used for entertainment. These things are not necessary to the world, but then again what is? The slinky is a fun toy to use when you are just bored and have nothing to do. Silly Putty is also fun to use with your siblings. (Just don’t stick it in your sister’s hair; from past experiences, very painful) The Frisbee disk is so much fun to play with at the beach or in the pool. Many of the inventions in these decades are things we use every day, but some inventions are just for play. Clearly, the people who created these things were looking to have something amusing to use. Without the Frisbee disk, what would we play with at the beach? What entertainment would we have? I have not seen or played with Silly Putty in such a long time, but I hope they still sell it in stores! Also, I cannot count how many times we have bought a slinky (and have broken it quite a few times.) These inventions are for one purpose and one purpose only, to enjoy yourself and have fun!
