Technology Through The Ages

Published by amanda on

Imagine a world without technology. Scary isn't it. I doubt many of us could part from our mobile phones or computers for more than a couple of days. Society was so different before these modern developments. Most of us would agree that technology has made life easier, quicker and more efficient. Lets find out how.

First off - televisions. It is funny to think there were barely three channels to begin with, each showing a couple of shows a day. Owning a television was considered a luxury and when it was switched on, it would turn in to a family event. Now however, TV's appear in several rooms of the house and if you have Sky, the channels are endless.

Surprising Old Tech

 [The theme of this collection is gadget/tech concepts that we feel "current technology", but has existed for a long time. Of course, this list is definitely not complete. If you know anything that matches the theme but I have missed, please suggest them in the comments. The main reason they are more widespread today is because of falling prices and advancements in processor speed and storage, making it more feasible. But if companies coming up with current products based on these old concepts act as though they inventted the concept, please send them a reminder.]
