Technology in 1990

Technology and Advancements

The greatest major advancements in technology started with the launching of the Hubble Telescope into orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. It is a space telescope, roughly the size of a modern school bus that is known as the largest and one of the most important orbit research tools. It is the most sensitive and complex space observatory ever constructed, allowing astronauts to view the universe in a much more accurate way.

Another great advancement in technology was made by Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist who published a formal proposal for the World Wide Web, and then goes on to write the first web page (also known as the web client and server) ever written in December, 1990. He was named one of the top 100 people in Time Magazine's "Time's 100, The Most Important People Of The Century," as the man who invented the Internet's World Wide Web.
These, along with other updated versions of television, computer, and other personal entertainment items are all included in technology of 1990.
