CAD software has made leaps and bounds in its evolution in recent years, growing exponentially since the early days of blueprinting. What once required physical drafting tables, pens, templates and rulers to get the job done can now be done entirely digitally. Early CAD models emerged in the 80s, however, they were largely inaccessible. High costs and location constraints kept CAD from those who really needed it, such as engineers or architects.

Cellphones have expanded and developed exponentially in the past few decades. In an era of pocket PCs and video calls, it’s hard to imagine what else cellphones could be capable of. A timeline from the team at Ooma shows us that not only have the look and functions of cellphones changed, but prices have fluctuated too.
The timeline is full of specifics, but we can categorize some of the major changes.
Science fiction has long imagined futuristic technology, often decades or even centuries before it became real. A new graphic from AIPRM highlights just how accurately sci-fi creators predicted groundbreaking innovations. The chart showcases some stunning insights by tracking the time between a technology’s first fictional mention and its real-world development.
The team at AIPRM showcased the surprisingly long history of artificial intelligence in an illustrated timeline of AI technology development. The chart shows that so many previous inventions, theories, and ideas were necessary to create the accessible AI we have today. The graphic displays the progress of computing and AI in great detail.
Humans are superb innovators that have used technology to refine all aspects of life, but the thing that truly defines humans is our ability to communicate with each other. It seems that no other species is as social as humans, so it comes as no surprise that some of our most impactful inventions have helped us refine our communications. We can see this in full detail through this timeline created by the team at Ooma.
Pop culture junkies are put to the test with this infographic from Ooma. They’ve rounded up recognizable and significant phones from Hollywood history and arranged them chronologically on this illustrated infographic. You’ll find out when this phone made it’s first screen appearance, what film or TV show it appeared in, and a fact about why this phone is significant and made the list.
Famous phones might have made their mark as being a historic first, helping to define a beloved character, and or being a creative and memorable sci-fi invention. This infographic does a great job of displaying a variety of phones.
What is the most important factor you would look for, when
shopping for a new car? Statista states that it is neither design nor quality,
and not even safety, it is fuel efficiency.
Due to this reason, auto manufacturers are always looking
for clever ways to improve gas mileage in their cars. Beating the competition
by even the slightest of margins can give valuable bragging rights within a
segment.
This infographic uses data from the 2022 Automotive Trends
Report by EPA to list off the most fuel efficient cars from 1975 to 2023.
In this infographic, we have used data from the EPA’s 2022
Automotive Trends Report to list off the most fuel efficient cars from 1975 to 2023.
The data taken is from a government agency of the United
States, so it skews towards cars sold in North America.
Did you know that the Bulova Accutron wrist watch sparked a creative movement that led to iconic Nike sneaker designs? Accutron watches featured unique designs that sparked interest from a wide pool of customers, some famous wearers including Joe DiMAgio and Elvis! The strong and attractive design of these watches inspired many other designers, including Tinker Hatfield who went on to create the Nike Air Max 1
Thousands of mourners gathered from all around the world on
January 5th, in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican to pay their
respects to Pope Benedict XVI as he was laid to rest. Where popes usually live
out their role to the end of the days, Benedict was the first pontiff in 600
years to step down as head of the Catholic Church. The funeral service of Benedict
was led by His successor, Argentinian Pope Francis.
In 2022, gas prices have not been kind to the wallets of those living in the United States. This year alone, the average cost of a gallon of gas has been $4.90, the highest that it has been in nearly 40 years. Not only that, but it's the first time in nearly a decade where the average cost of a gallon of gas in the United States has been over $4.00 ($4.11 per gallon of gas in 2014).
In 1949, the Jaguar XK120 saw a top speed of 124.6 miles per hour, which was a record that the car would hold for nearly a decade, until the Mercedes-Benz 300SL reached 150.7 miles per hour in 1955. While those may seem very fast, they're nothing in comparison to the top speed on some of the cars of today.
Cars have been an important part of movie history. Many times, movie titles alone can make you instantly think of the car used. For example, The Dukes of Hazzard with the famous Dodge Charger. Or Little Miss Sunshine with the Volkswagen Microbus. Or what car do you think of when you hear the movie Transformers? The yellow Camaro Bumblebee of course!
