Twile now includes a Timeline of the big inventions that have pushed the human race forward (or maybe backward in some cases).

Starting with the invention of the mechanical clock (circa 724), via the hot air balloon (1783), right up to the invention of the digital satellite radio in 2001, you can explore the progress of human innovation on a single visual timeline.

Did you know the first mobile phone was Invented in 1973?  Or that people have been wearing eyeglasses since the 1200s?  Do you know who invented dynamite?
