Today is our last official research and service day. LifeI, Rachel and Katie are all doing services since they haven't done he services yet, which means that I'm the only that is doing research, I decided to go to the library for my research place. I interviewed Brian (the librarian) a few questions that's related to our project. He gave me a lot of helpful information such as the changes of mining industry and lifestyles due to the changed technology. The questions I asked were: - How has technology changed the mining industry in Broken Hill? - How has technology changed the lifestyles in Broken Hill? - Are these changes good or bad? He told us that before the life in mining industry were extremely hard, they had to use a big, heavy drill to get the minerals, and the risks were very high and often. But now, the workers just sit in a room and control the machine, though some of the workers still work underground, but the risks were extremely low. Also, another librarian showed me some old photos of a famous lady, which wasn't really related to our project, but was really nice.
