  1. Technology Timeline Tajae Brown

  2. Electric Telegraph 1794 • Is a telegraph that uses electrical signals, usually conveyed via telecommunication lines or radio. The electromagnetic telegraph is a device for human-to-human transmission of coded text message

  3. Typewriter 1870 • Although many modern typewriters have one of several similar designs, their invention was incremental, provided by numerous inventors working independently or in competition with each other over a series of decades

  4. Microphones 1876 • Invented the first microphone used as a telephone voice transmitter. • The Bell Telephone Company was impressed with what the inventor came up with and bought Berliner's microphone patent for $50,000.

  5. Remote Control 1898 • A remote control is a component of an electronics device, most commonly a television set, used for operating the television device wirelessly from a short line-of-sight distance.

  6. Video Game Console 1968 • A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or modified computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions, or arcade machines, which are designed for businesses that buy them and then charge others to play.

  7. Floppy Disk 1971 • A floppy disk is a data storage medium that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy") magnetic storage medium sealed in a square or rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles.

  8. Scelbi & Mark-8 Altair & IBM 5100 Computers 1974 • In the March, 1974, issue of QST magazine there appeared the first advertisement for a "personal computer." It was called the Scelbi (SCientific, ELectronic and BIological) and designed by the Scelbi Computer Consulting Company of Milford, Connecticut. Based on Intel's 8008 microprocessor, Scelbi sold for $565 and came with 1K of programmable memory, with an additional 15K of memory available for $2760.

  9. PDA 1974 The evolution of the PDA, which is also referred to as Personal Digital Assistant. During this time, the handheld computer has seen many changes to what it is today. And during this time, several pioneering companies have played significant roles.

  10. Laptop 1976 • The history of the laptop sends us back in April 1976, when Xerox PARC developed the first portable computer prototype called Xerox NoteTaker. It never reached mass production but it was the inspiration source for the first commercially available notebook.

  11. Camcorder 1983 • A camcorder (videocamera recorder) is an electronic device that combines a video camera and a video recorder into one unit.[1][2][3] Equipment manufacturers do not seem to have strict guidelines for the term usage. Marketing materials may present a video recording device as a camcorder, but the delivery package would identify content as video camera recorder.
