The second half of the twentieth century brought a technological revolution driven by new sources of energy and groundbreaking innovations. The first nuclear reactor demonstrated that the immense power locked inside the atom could be harnessed, while the first commercial nuclear power plant opened the era of large-scale nuclear electricity generation. The invention of the laser transformed science, medicine, and industry, and the first automated teller machine changed the way people accessed their money. The first successful ARPANET connection then laid the foundations of the Internet, ultimately connecting the world. This campaign follows the breakthroughs in energy, electronics, and digital technology that reshaped modern civilization.
