Welcome to the Timeline of the Future Wiki

Version 113 of my timeline design in Flash, visit http://tinyurl.com/knfzod3 to see the latest version

My name is Ben Attenborough and I am designing an interactive timeline as part of my MA in Graphic Design and Typography at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England.

The project examines predictions of future technologies and societies and compares these prophesies with inventions and events in the real world.

This allows a user to see when (and if) predictions came true, as well as seeing how world events shaped the work of writers.

You can help me by editing and adding pages to this wiki which in turn will form the basis for my timeline design
