The Digital Age (1947 – Present Day)

Science Highlights: A Gareth Stevens Timeline Series

The later decades of the 20th century brought no bigger development than the rise of the computer and the Internet. Cars, entertainment, learning—even household appliances were controlled by microchips. There were other developments too, including the deciphering of human genetics. In this book, readers will gain a better understanding of how the digital age has changed the way we live our lives. Sidebars and timelines put finer details in accessible focus.
