One hundred and twenty-five years of invention, told one decade at a time. Watch the world grow more connected with every era — then see why this moment breaks the pattern entirely.
Every era above invented tools that did what we told them. This is the first where the tool begins to improve itself.
For a century, technology extended the body — faster travel, louder voices, longer reach. What is happening now is technology that extends the mind, and does so recursively. Not a faster horse. The first tool that helps design its own successor.
