Timeline
While this timeline may not solely include Mobile Applications, it gives you an idea of when and how technology developed over time. While you may not have been around during the times of some devices, do you remember your parents having any of these devices or talking about any of them? Have you heard of any of them before? What connections can you make after each device? Keep these questions in mind when reviewing the timeline. After you finish observing the timeline below, scroll down to view your assignment.
