Question

question 16 2 pts which of the following had a dramatic impact on u.s. innovation and education during the cold war era? (ssush20c) sputnik air conditioning internet cell phone

Explanation:

The launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957 shocked the United States. It led to increased emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the U.S. as part of the response to the perceived technological gap. The U.S. government and educational institutions focused more on innovation in these areas to compete with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Air - conditioning was more of a consumer and comfort technology with less direct impact on the educational and innovation race of the Cold War. The Internet as we know it started to develop later, and the concept was more of a DARPA project in the 1960s but not in its modern form during the immediate post - Sputnik era. Cell phones were developed much later, mainly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Answer:

Sputnik
