Also titled as “The Science Fair Story of Electronics—The Discovery that Changed the World!” Radio Shack giveaway series continued from The New Science Fair Story of Electronics—The Discovery that Changed the World.

“Today began yesterday!” begins this comic, which then goes on to run through some of those yesterdays, which have seen most of the inventions we take for granted spring up in the last 60 years or so. It shows how geyser power, solar power, and other forms of energy have been used in various inventive ways, and increased our knowledge of the world along the way. This in turn has led to the invention of computerized spacecraft which have enabled us to stretch the boundaries of our knowledge by exploring the entire universe.

Moreover, this comic—geared toward younger readers and published by Radio Shack—delves even further into the history of electronics, from the first notion of electricity and the first crude batteries to the phonograph and the wireless radio. Interesting for all ages.
