But we thought it might also be useful, if we built a backdrop relating to the world around us. What we ended up with, a little surprisingly perhaps, is an extraordinary picture of "time and space", mapping human progress over many thousands of years and highlighting some of the major developments that have been fundamental in creating the fast-paced, interconnected world we share today. You can see not only "how things are now" but also track back on the individual timelines of how things developed in different areas. This page is, if you like, a "snapshot in time" of our global community today - HERE and NOW - whilst simultaneously tracking back on "how we got here".
This page was updated on 26th November 2010 ~ quite a few resources had disappeared, but we've restored broken links wherever possible, and it's not too much different from the original. Worth a browse :) Update, 26th October 2022 - links on this page have been restored and updated. |
