technological progression

does anyone know of a good site for a timeline of when new inventions and technology came into use?

Not a site, but I know of a book by Isaac Asimov on that subject, and it is pretty good.

This one is one that I consult frequently. You might also try here. The latter one is a group of timelines covering inventions from 1,000 AD to 2004 AD.

World History, Hyper History. I'm computer lame as far as links and stuff, but it should show up. It has some really nicely cross indexed articles, separated by people, technology, religion, etc.

Have you tried searching Wikipedia for it yet?

I used wiki too, but now I know those sites robert posted the links to, which are better.

That site leaves abit to be desired. Five seconds in and I find the French invented the crossbow over a thousand years after the Chinese and the Greeks!!
