14 Tech Supplies That Made School Tolerable in the '90s
The clunky technology of the '90s paved the way for innovations in today's classrooms, and growing up in that time period was an adventure.
Children today would scratch their heads at a floppy disk. And who would know what to do with Microsoft Encarta when a quick Google search is so much easier?

15 Technologies That Were Supposed To Change Education Forever

Let’s hope it pans out better than previous attempts.
Today we take a look back at 15 technologies that were supposed to radically change the way that people are educated around the world. Some innovations were mostly hype. Others had an undeniably meaningful impact.

14 Machines That Were Brilliant in 1985

The history of technology is the history of useful tools and techniques for doing practical things.
It is intimately related with the history of science, which includes how humans have acquired the background knowledge necessary to build useful things. Scientific endeavors have, especially in modern times, usually depended on specific technologies which assist humans to probe the nature of the universe in more detail than our natural senses allow.
