History of Science

I asked Eleanor today if she knew what a scientist was, or what science was. "It's something you do when you're doing what you like to do," she said, and smiled a winky smile that let me know she knew she wasn't answering my question... I told her that there didn't use to be refrigerators, cars... "What did people do before cars?" I told her they rode horses, or horses pulled carts, or people walked, "or people rode in sailboats," she offered. "Absolutely." I also told her that when I was her age, nobody had computers in their home. "How did they get online?" How did we used to get online?
