Shrinking the World
Description
Today we can speak to someone on the other side of the world instantly and physically travel around the globe in two days. Ninety percent of our technology, upon which we base our modern lifestyle, was created within the last 150 years. We take this for granted, but the shrinking of our world is an extraordinary achievement. In a short time we progressed from horses and carts to cars, radio, television, international mobile phone calls, space travel, and the Internet.
