 * What happened in Technology between 1960-1969?

Jacob K. ** Much has happened in technology and scientific understanding during the 1960’s. A good example is the first videogame, “Spacewar!” being invented in 1962. Other technology, like the first Touch-Tone telephone was invented in 1963. In my opinion, it’s amazing how all of this technology is basically outdated today. Some advances, however, are still very useful today- like the heart transplantation. The first of these life-saving procedures was performed in 1967. In 1966, the Soviet Union launched their first space probe to orbit the moon, //Luna 10//. A lot of new scientific theories were founded in the 1960’s, too. One of these theories is the bosonic string theory (the original version of the string theory), which was developed in the late 1960’s. Of course, one of the greatest advances in the 1960’s was the Apollo 11 moon landing. In 1969, the first humans set foot on an extraterrestrial body. As I believe I’ve pointed out, the 1960’s was a decade of enormous technological and scientific advancement.
