TO THE MOON AND BACK:
A New Era of Communication
This project is a digital continuation of the Europeana Exercise, a paper-based information design project that explored the development of technology in the 20th century. While the original project focused on the evolution of air warfare and its impact on global communication, this digital extension shifts the focus to a more contemporary technological advancement: the evolution of mobile phones in the 21st century.
Building on the narrative of global communication post-moon landing, this project explores how the world became increasingly connected and how mobile phones emerged as a central element of this transformation. The interactive timeline we created highlights the most popular mobile phones from each year, starting from the 2000s, a period that saw telephones becoming integral to daily life.
The timeline allows viewers to explore the progression of mobile phone technology, offering detailed information on each year's standout device, along with additional statistics and insights into the trends of each decade. By examining these milestones, the project delves into the broader impact of mobile phones on society, communication, and culture in the 21st century, addressing the question: "How has this invention impacted the world, and how have phones evolved in the new century?"
