Do you ever wonder about the technology that surrounds you every day and where it came from? In this video, we are going to learn about 20th century technology, from the assembly line to the internet. You can read along with us by downloading this lesson plan from our website, learnbright.org.   You probably know that a century is 100 years. But did you know that historians sometimes organize history in 100-year periods? Although it makes sense to categorize time chronologically, compiling a list of the most significant events during that time generates considerable debate among historians. Historians often debate whether a cultural event is more significant than a technological one, or if a natural disaster takes precedence over a war. Is the election of an American president more important than the change of a government on another continent? You can see how difficult it is to decide. Every historian has a point of view and an opinion.   Think about it. If you were to make a list of events during a year of your life and rank them from most to least important, what day comes first? Perhaps your birthday or another holiday? Maybe it's the last day of school and the start of the summer. Historians have the same problem. They don't always agree on which events should be on the list! The 20th century was a time when there were literally dozens of important events that affected nearly everyone worldwide. So, let's dive into a timeline of the significant technological changes brought forth in the 20th century, beginning with January 1, 1901, and ending with December 31, 2000.   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about 20th century technology!
