Weekly Reflection #2

This week in history, we learned more about World War II and the atom bombs that were dropped on Japan, which is good I guess. It was more interesting then some of the things I have learned about World War II in the past. It was finally good to learn about somewhere else besides Germany during World War II. I still don't get get how at that time an electromagnetic pulse would stop clocks in Japan during the atom bomb attacks, especially since there were no transistors in electronics at that time, simply because they did not exist, because at that time they used vacuum tubes in radios and in the early computers that were being developed at the time. From what I can see its more likely that the vacuum tubes in whatever they had for electronic devices shattered because of the shock created from the atom bombs. Anyways, that's besides the point, I guess what I'm really saying is that I'm glad that were not always focusing on Germany during World War II, because I am REALLY SICK about hearing about just Germany all the time. So yeah, that's all I have to say about that at this point.
