The last decade of the 20th Century sets us on course for the next 100 years. With inventions like Global Positioning Satellites and The Hubble Space Telescope, the inventions of the 1990s help us see where we've been and where we're going. Additional inventions include: the wind up radio, camera phone, the Mars Pathfinder, and the neurotropic electrode.
This decade is best remembered for disco and Watergate. But the inventions in the 1970s mark the beginning of the digital age to come. Featured inventions include: cell phones, the bomb disposal robot, Post It Note, hybrid cars, and digital cameras.
Information and Communication Technologies, known as ICT's make reference to electronic devices used for specific communication purposes, for example: television, radio, Internet, cell phone, iPhone, iPod, computer and other technological innovations that are part of the information culture.

Meteorological agencies issue warnings and send alerts to television and radio channels, the Internet, and mobile phone networks. These systems are found throughout the world and are vital for tsunami prone areas like Japan. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
Investigates some of the key concepts of physics. Using a drum kit, we look at how sound works, how we make it, and how it gets around. Also, examines electricity and electromagnetism and notes the similarities between a remote control car and a mobile phone charger. Finally, takes a look at radioactivity and identifies a radioactive device that can be found in almost every family home.
The parakeet starts with a monologue about the pleasure of eating. The first guest, the pork, says he can't sleep because the sloth wakes him up every night with phone calls at indecent hours. The sloth says that since he changed his diet he has so much energy that he can't sleep. The fleas present a documentary about the way humans eats.

Today, people send emails, text messages, and status updates instantaneously. But not so long ago, messages were handwritten and travelled no faster than people could carry them. With the invention of the telegraph and then the telephone, instant communication was born. Radio and television created an industry for mass entertainment that continues to grow, and the computer age changed how data is crunched. With the invention of the internet in the 1980s, the world of communication has truly shrunk.
Bird lovers across Cyberspace have arrived at the Migration Celebration. When the trillers are a no-show, Professor Bobson knows something is amiss. After he cancels the event, phone calls and social media posts start reporting triller sightings all over Cyberspace. The Professor and kids recruit dozens of citizen scientists to record their observations when they see a triller. When all the citizen scientists have reported back, it leads to a shocking discovery. What is the data telling them? Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. The class learns about other forms of energy when their "Double-Trouble Wheel of Wonder" shorts out. They learn how to use water, solar energy, wind, and their own muscle power and are able to get the Ferris wheel to run.
