<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Look around your home. Almost everything with a plug, a screen, or a motor comes from the 1900s or grew out of a 1900s invention!</p>

<p>Your refrigerator, washing machine, and lights all use electricity that came to homes in the early 1900s. Your TV comes from 1920s inventions. Even your family's phone is the great-great-grandchild of old telephones with cords and dials.</p>

<p>Grown-ups in your family remember some of these changes. Maybe a grandparent remembers their family's first TV or first computer! Talking to older family members is like opening a living history book. Today, you will do exactly that.</p>
