17 Things They Didn't Tell You About Becoming a Teacher

The Atlantic’s New “Life Timeline” An Engaging Social Tool, VERY COOL

Today, The Atlantic unveiled the “Life Timeline” interactive.


Put in your birthday and it will deliver a visually engaging history of the key events that have happened during your lifetime. I was surprised to learn there had been seatbelts all my life and a bunch of other cool facts through my life, like they walked on the moon when I was 16. Actually, I remember that and even saw the rocket go up, I lived in Florida!!


The timeline includes political, cultural, technological and other kinds of developments, along with an intriguing short summary.


Read more about the Life Timeline tool here.


As we all know, teenagers, oh who am I kidding, we all love to talk and write about ourselves, and this tool could be an intriguing personal hook to connect with history.
