20 Years of Technology and Why We Need It

Did you know that the very same office program that we use in school today was first introduced in 1989 by the Microsoft Corporation? There have been some upgrades done to it but yes it is the very same program. Technology has grown so much in the last 20 years from barely having computers to having computers, cell phones and learning about its interesting past has been exciting what it is about.
Space travel, satellites, and men in space was so much of a popular thing in the  60’s, 70’s and 80’s and in 1989 as you can imagine and it is still quite popular. In the year 1989 they had 24 satellites that they launched in to orbit to monitor the global positioning of the Earth. Having placed all the satellites in space they made a progression in technology because they showed the people that they could and would maintain the technological growth of the age. They also have proved that humans in space was a great and fanatical finding when the Voyager II slid passed the planet Neptune and its great moon Triton and gave the Earth it proof by sending pictures of the moon and its planet. Triton is only 354,760 km from Neptune and 2700 km in diameter. The Voyager II took pictures of Neptune and Triton on August 25, 1989. Triton is the only large moon to orbit in a retrograde or backwards.

Space travel has grown a lot in the past 20 years from satellites being launched in to space and humans sending pictures of Neptune and its moon Triton back to Earth all the way to the missiles and a space laboratory or two. Compared to the Voyager II in 1989, 2008’s big space trip was the European Columbus docking with the international space station. Columbus is one of Europe’s Space Laboratories which a fine new invention that will help us with our journey in to the future. Space laboratories will help us research what is in space and give us a better outlook on things...
