Guiding Question
Turn your idea above into a guiding question.
Check out some resources on how to write a guiding question here.
How would the technology we use today be affected if ww1 hadn't happened?
FEEDBACK: Based on the way your guiding question is phrased right now, it seems that you're most interested in the differences in technology today, is that correct? If so, how will you contend with the argument that if it wasn't WW1 it would have been some other war that caused rapid advances in technological development? If you're not most interested in technology today and are more interested in what technological advancements occurred during WW1 and why they occurred I would suggest rephrasing your guiding question.
