GuideWelcome to the Timeline of Technology. The museum is laid out as a journey through time, with five main zones; let me explain each.
GuideWe begin in the Dawn Zone, right at the entrance, which is all about the first tools made of stone, half a million years ago.
GuideNext comes the Power Zone, full of giant wheels and pistons — it tells the story of the machines of the steam age.
GuideThe Spark Zone that follows is brighter and cleaner: it captures the arrival of electricity at home, with early lamps and radios.
GuideThen the Logic Zone, where the screens begin, charts the rise of the personal computer from the nineteen seventies on.
GuideAnd the final room, the Pocket Zone, is devoted entirely to the age of the smartphone, the device that changed everything.
