Thinkers through the ages and scientists and inventors allow you to see who made major contributions to the development of electricity and electronics from Thales in ancient Greece to Tim Berners-Lee today.

Click your way through electrotechnical history by technologies (such as electroacoustics, insulators, or connectors), by important dates in history, or by IEC technical committee in order of creation. Each timeline gives a different approach to the subject and explains who or what is important.

While it is not an exhaustive history of eletrotechnology, it is designed to provide an overview of how this science developed and the role the IEC plays.
