guys, need some help on my history presentation

[KennyTheGreat]

I'm suppose to talk about how technology improved and technology that was created in the span of the 1990's to 2000

so far
i could only think of

Cassette Tapes were replaced by Cds
CRT and LCD
Cell Phones(size and stuff)


anyone?

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

created or replaced by? CD's as I think we all know werent created in the 90's but earlier but were put into major use recently. I dont really have any suggestions though. Maybe Internet though? 14.4baud to cable and DSL?

The evolution of graphics technologies.
Object-oriented programming - if you want something more hardcore.

Optical media is another good one.
LD, CD, CD burning technologies, various types of CD media (VCD, Photo CD, etc.), PD/CD-ROM (anybody remember that? ), DVD, DVD burning technologies.

 

[Kadarin]

What about the advent of the GUI (Windoze) on the PC? That + Internet = "change the world"...

Another fun one is the technology of war: You could talk about how GPS technology has revolutionized American air power, and point out the differences between Desert Storm and Afghanistan in terms of accuracy and firepower.

 

[ZeroBurn]

digital photography, mp3 players/car decks, satellite radio, PDAs/PPCs, optical/cordless mice, psx2/xbox- the trickier question is what technology hasn't improved in recent years.

Computer-based animation meets Hollywood - Shreck, Monsters Inc, Final Fantasy, etc.
GPS and navigation systems in cars
Spread of microchips - IE, fuzzy-logic rice makers.
