We created an A to Z of words that made us think about something we’ve learned about the Victorians, and used them for inspiration to write our blog posts. Some links are more obvious than others, but all of our posts are original, interesting and the result of our hard work! Enjoy 🙂

This piece of writing is all about technology’s evolution through the Victorian era.

Transport Evolution

Transport’s evolution was a great one, starting with the horse and carriage. A very different but effective mode of transportation until the Penny Farthing was made. It was revolutionary for the Victorians, allowing one person to get somewhere fast… well, until the first petrol car was built- then transportation was at its finest in the Victorian times. They also had steam trains and power paddle boats for longer journeys.

Life’s Evolution

Life’s evolution was a revolutionary one: for example, it started with the photographic paper. The photographic paper allowed people to take photos and put them in frames like today. Next is the post box. This allowed people to post their letters and not have to worry about walking or driving to a post office.

Communication’s Evolution

The last evolution was none other than communication. Communication started with the electric telegraph. It was used to speak to other people. Next up was Morse code; that was the next step in communication. Then the telephone and wireless radio were invented, which leads us up to today’s inventions.
