does it have to be specific? if not, perhaps you could do an overview of significant events in the 20th century. if it does have to be specific, how about WW1 or 2? either of those would fill up more than 15 pages.

Technology in general.. cars, airplanes, computers, etc. What are you interested in? You could go the military route and talk about how motorized vechicles (tanks, planes, helicopters) affected the battlefield. Or go the 'improved our lives' route and talk about how planes and computers have made the world smaller.

Is that your only requirement? The 20th Century? Kinda broad..

Hmm, how about the acceleration of technological advances?

Let's take an example . . . in the 18th century, firearms were muzzle-loaded, and had been for a few centuries. Cartridge loaded firearms did not come about until the end of the Civil War. The pace of most technological innovation in the past was similar to that, very slow to come about.

Now, think about the early 1900s . . . and compare them today. The changes in the same period of time are astounding, and they show no sign of slowing down. Think of all the innovations that have come about in the last 80 years - automobiles, airplanes, the jet aircraft, radios, computers, nuclear power.
