Photographs and text unfold the origins, development, and impact of the most popular and influential technologies of our age, showing how they work, how they are used, and how they have changed--and continue to change--our lives. Covers the span from the first technologies to future technologies: from words on paper to virtual reality telephones, from recorded sound to digital television, from mechanical calculators to cyborgs.Tags
