Timeline

Fig 1. history of  development (author's own)
 
In my earlier blog, I mentioned that I created a timeline using the information that stood out for me most from the exhibition. If I narrow down my selection of dates even more, I would say the following interest me in some way:
  • 1859-Theory of Evolution
  • 1879-First incandescent electric light
  • 1885-First car to use an internal-combustion engine
  • 1889-Eifel Tower
  • 1925-Arrival of television
  • 1932-Development of the jet engine
  • 1948-Origin of robotics
  • 1954-Modern mass produced plastics
  • 1959-UK's first motorway
  • 1964-Birth of modern computing
  • 1989-Dawn of the internet age
