Description

A tray of disinfectant could have led to defeat for the Allies in World War II, and news of this defeat could have spread via an invention called the Radio Newspaper. Imagine that.

The world of technology is one of chance. Would the death of a cat have been the most costly road accident in the history of technology Did a Serbian inventor devise the technology of the 21st century in the early 1900s

In Imagine that. Technology young historian Michael Sells tells the stories behind some of technology's most pivotal moments and reveals how they could have altered the way we live now.
