“How much time do you spend at your computer? How about listening to CDs or the radio? Watching TV? When was the last time you used a microwave oven? Try to imagine going through a day without these items. They all make use of technologies developed in the 20th century.”The Technology at Home website is an activity from PBS that lets you go back through the century to find out when everyday items such as these first appeared in homes. You will find out about Tupperware, the Sony Walkman, the telephone, the refrigerator, the microwave, the World Wide Web, CD’s, VCR’s, and more!
