Technology Panic

It is, to say the least, surprising not to see nuclear power and nuclear weapons mentioned anywhere in this timeline. I feel like any general historical treatment of the 20th century, however superficial, that entirely omits the Cold War still has some work left to be done.<p>(Also weird to see that the images are only rendered at 72dpi, and thus have a lot of scaling artifacts on a high-DPI display. I haven&#x27;t even looked at it on a phone yet, but that also lends me to think this whole thing is a little undercooked.)

There are persistent fears about technology increasing unemployment. I remember elementary school classmates in the early 1980s in rural southwest Missouri having a very dim view of computers because they were going to &#x27;put people out of work&#x27;. This may be subsumed by the 1811 - 1816 &quot;Looming Unemployment&quot; entry, but I feel like it&#x27;s given short shrift in this timeline...

I just see an empty page with:<p>&quot;Will you pay more - or less - for the things you love, eat and use every single day after the UK vote?&quot;
