Hello, today I am going to make my oral presentation.

The topic I chose was

A. The item I chose was invented way earlier than my grandpas’ or parents
generation but the existence of that made possible the way that we live
today. Despite that, that same item caused an evolution trough the years
that made the human being create a lot of new ways of set the time right.
And those were invented in the older generations, actually.
The technological invention I’m gonna talk was the sundial or by another
words, the Sun Clock.
Who invented it?
The sun clocks were created by the ancient Egyptians who made them first
around the year
(THREE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED BEFORE CHRIST)3500 BC.

What it was used for?

Sundials are the oldest known instruments to mark the passage of time
throughout the day, according to the position of the sun. The surface of the
sundial has lines to indicate each hour while the sunlight shines on it.
What it is like?
The sun clocks are essentially composed of a flat surface, with the name
"dial" and a hand that is given the name of gnomon.
The dial can be either a stone plate or any other material that is rigid, the
lines indicating the hours are marked.
The pointer was shaped like a rectangular triangle, which will cast the shadow on the dial
and should be positioned so that it is parallel to the axis of rotation of the Earth.

How they saw the time?

As the position of the Sun changes, the shadow moves across the surface of
the dial, passing successively over the lines that indicate the hours.
Has it got any special meaning for you? If so, what?
The sun watch was a huge development by the time, and very important in
the development of technology.
Nowadays we are already quite advanced, what used to be seen through the
shade obtained by the sun, today is replaced by watches, phones, among
other technologies.
 How are they used these days?
Nowadays sundials are still used but with other uses, as an object of
decoration and curiosity, in gardens, parks and squares and also for
educational purposes, generating interest in astronomy among young people
and adults, in schools, museums and other places public.
