Billboards

Hey everyone!

I'm not really sure how much this has to do with technology but I'm going to talk about it anyways. Some of you already know this but our softball team is in Florida right now for spring break. When we travel to the field I always notice all the billboards on the side of the road. I remember asking my dad one time why Maine doesn't have billboards. It seems like every other state we travel to does but we don't. So I did a little research and found out that in Maine it is illegal to have billboards. They were banned in 1965 as part of the Federal Highway Beautification Act. According to the Portland Press Herald Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, and Alaska are the only four states that ban billboards. Anyways I thought this was a fun little fact. I guess it relates to technology because some billboards are now just like TV screens and they flash peoples signs instead of being pasted on, or they rotate panels to display 3 or 4 different signs. 

Hope everyones break is going well! :)
