Description
The first railroad was built in the early 19th century and the worlds axis shifted along with it. Since then, revolutionary ideas have changed the way we live, work, play and connect. How were instant messages sent in ancient times? What did the Silk Road bring to the rest of the world? Which search engine used to be called BackRub? Why does the creator of the World Wide Web regret his invention? Former TV journalist Hwee Goh and historian/artist David Liew use a fun, narrative arc to tell the stories of how connections have sparked change globally. After all, a clear view of history sets the perspective forward for the future. Are you ready for your next journey of discovery?
