I think that the modern world website is very good at serving its purpose. i think the timeline is a great idea becasue it lets students travel along the life of technology and learn as they are doing this. Also on this website you can follow the story of the modern personal computor, i think that this oart of the site is really good because it shows the old fashioned computor, such as the ones that use to take a whole room to house to the modern everyday computor that you can fit anywhere in your house or office. It lets the user navigate throught the life on the P.C, and tells the reader any key moments in the computors life such as 'By 1990 the first text Web browser was developed'. The website also allows the user to seeing the programers that made the modern day computor such as 'Marc Andreesen' who was the programer that enabled users to show images as well as text, on a page which was a huge step forwards from the text based computors of the past. At the very end of the timeline you get to see the modern computor against the old room sized computors from the past, the nright at the end you get to see the new apple ipod.

I feel the site is very good for the N user it lets the user navigate through time and shows pictures and text about that era. The site also gives you discriptions and back rounds on the programs that made the first programs that are critical in modern PC's.
