I was amazed to see this early invention of the GPS (1932). It used a rolling key map to gauge where you were as you drove. Not so much global positioning, but it was a clever way to track your location around the neighborhood.

As for newspapers, reading in real time hasn’t always been as easy as picking up an iPad. Check out these kids in 1938 reading the children’s page of a Missouri newspaper as it is fed out of an early fax machine.

Even life vests have evolved into a state-of-the-art device, as compared to bicycle inner tubes wrapped around the upper bodies of these young Germans in 1925.
