changed from 20th to the 21st century. From 1900’s to 2000’s sports has changed drastically
over the past two decades. Whether it's basketball or football or woman or men all sports have
changed over the amount of years. Comparing from then to now technology has increased
majorly whether it's Medicine and other foods and drinks all these items and equipment has
upgrades to become faster and more reliable. Today’s century Sports in the 21 century(2000’s)
are more efficient than sports in 1900. This means that all sports in general in 2000’s have
became way more advanced than in the 1900’s. For example since the 1900’s more equipment …show more content…
has been upgraded so that athletes can be more safer when they play.Technology has also
changed since the 1900’s because in the 21st century we have advanced electronics like cameras,
iphones, computers, etc that can televise different sports and keep stats.
The first topic that is very important to sports is technology. “studies and research” is
a quote from the author Grant Farred. Farred is a native south african Professor of african
studies and English at Cornell University. Farred has written several books and served for eight
years as a South atlantic quarterly. Farred is a major soccer fan. His favorite team is liverpool in
England. So farred wrote a book on how sports has changed him to have more connections and
opened up his world to see different events and people. Technology doesn't just play a role in
sports but everyday lives. Technology helps the world run and makes the environment easier to
take care of. Technology can do a variety of things like help us get up in the morning or helping
us get to school or work. There's numerous of ways how technology helps the world. Back in
the 1900 a lot of sports did not have up to date technology. Television or ipods or iphones
weren't invented yet. People had to find out by looking through books or newspapers or even
attending the game. Equipment has also changed because back in the 1900’s we didn't have top
equipment like extra padding or ankle support shoes. Now that we are becoming more advanced
in sports we have better equipment that helps us be a better person. Now that we have top
engineers and scientists we have one of the best generations in our time.
Technology now is a major key to sports. Technology can enhance athletes performance by
selling products like energy drinks or gatorade.
These items allows athletes to have enough
electrolytes to last them to the end of the game and even have more energy after. So comparing
technology then and now i feel as if our generation could be good and bad. It's good because
these type of drinks like gatorade and red bull give you enough energy to last longer but it's also
bad for your body and your nutrition. Technology also allows players that are good at what they
do advertise for different companies like nike, adidas, under armour, muscle milk, etc.
Technology lets us watch highlights and athletes on t.v shows like ESPN or SportsCenter. Using
technology also helps with keeping up with stats in each sport. For example in Basketball if a
player breaks a record for most points in a game then his stats won't just be in the books but in
computers or different variety of electronics. Technology also produces top accessories for
different athletes. Engineers and scientist have created different items like advanced clothing,
equipment upgrades. And different variety of items that can record and control how your body is
operating. Some advanced clothes like glow in the dark shoes or electronic clothing may be
some
of the many accessories that the world today provides for us. Sports can also having an impact
on people's lives and how they see the world today.”Race and power & American Sports”. This
is the quote from my citation by Sat Jhully.Comparing the two generations sports has taken
effect on politics and what people discuss about on a daily basis.Whether people talk about the
athletes the sport or games being played sports always is the main topic talked about in the
world. Sorts has also taken advantage in social life. Some people love sports and have their
favorite team or favorite player they like to watch. Sports make people do things like customized
their walls as their favorite team or buy clothes or Jerseys of the their favorite player or team.
People like this are forever going to be like this because sports is like a relaxer or fun to some
people. Sports also attracts different possibilities for humans to get an education and make
money. When you play sports and suceed at it you can go to college with a free scholarship and
you can go in to the pros or overseas and play to make money. With sports you can also be a
coach or a personal trainer . With sports you ca be a agent and help other athletes maintain their
money or help them get signed or have different endorsers like nike or adidas. As sports has
increased in popularity more job opportunities for sports are becoming a daily job hor a human.
Whether it is basketball,soccer,or football a lot of jobs can be offered to you.
In not just today’s society but for years and years our world has been based on advertising and
what the latest styles or trending topics are. Advertisements also play a major part in sports. Ads
are usually how sports is successful. People will take advantage of how their company could sell
more if they have different items like gatorade which is a sports drink or shoes for different
variety of sports. An example would be Stephen Curry’s new shoes which he advertises by
under armour. Different companies also use successful athletes to promote their clothes or
equipment. Social media can also have an effect on advertisement. When ads are trending on
different sites or apps like twitter, facebook, instagram then it influences people to have a urge to
want that item. When athletes like Lebron James or Serena williams advertises their sponsor it
also influences people to buy their items. Television also influences advertising because when
shows like ESPN or SportsCenter play they advertise different brands like nike, or under armour.
Another topic that needs to be discussed is how advanced medicine and athletic performance
enhancements having an impact on sports. “ Medicine and science in sports and exercise” this is
my quote from my citation by Bruce Gladden. This article states that American sport nutrients
and enhancement performances has been a daily item for sports. For example Gatorade,
Powerade, Muscle Milk are some performance drinks that are mainly used for sports.
