The caller had the opportunity to leave a voice message recording that could be retrieved and heard by the owner of the digital answering machine at their leisure. This changed the nature of phone call communication.

In 1994, Kodak produced the first color digital camera for consumers, the Quicktake 100 ($749), for Apple. It was available in a Windows version and an Apple version, with room for eight photos at a resolution of 640 x 480. The upright nature of the FotoMan is strikingly similar to how we use our iPhones today for social media photography with the vertical layout.

The impact of the creation of the World Wide Web has allowed users to create and access content online such as websites, research databases, news, games, music, shopping, and more.

This model emphasized practical application of research done in classrooms to facilitate improved learning outcomes for the subjects of the research. This hands-on, practical research remains the type of research that we as educators are most likely to participate in throughout our careers.

This model has impacted instructional design to develop various ways that learning is delivered to students (technology and multimedia).

These devices allowed teachers to project images from a computer onto a whiteboard surface and interact with the content using a stylus. The impact of the interactive whiteboard allowed for more engagement in the classroom and exposure to new technology for educators and students.

This application of constructivism continued throughout the 90s as it was embraced by growing numbers of educators. This made education more relevant and engaging to students across grade levels and content areas.

The goal was to have all students and libraries connected to the internet by the year 2000. This was a major step in the advancement of technology and education. It allowed students to have access to resources that they would not have otherwise had. It also allowed teachers to use the internet and give students a reason to learn about computers.

Calder & McCollum (1998) described how technology could be applied to this learning organization based on the learning objectives of the organization. This changed the expectations for employee development relative to career and technical education (CTE).

This laid the foundation for the digital repositories and online databases of educational resources that are now commonplace in modern education

This was the first search engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) which allowed users to click on a mouse to find and open web pages, rather than typing a text command. In 1995 they had 80% of the share of web browsing traffic. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser was bundled for free and released with Microsoft 95, and began to take over the entire PC universe. In 1996-98, I was using Netscape at UCLA as a student. Microsoft won the battle. In 1999, AOL bought Netscape and created AOL Time Warner in 2000.

The iconic and (for the time) stylish design of the iMac sold very successfully, finally giving Apple a profitable year after several years of losses, and became a status symbol in personal computers.

CD-ROMs (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) were invented in the late 1980s and became widely available in the 1990s. They are compact discs that can store large amounts of digital data, and can be used to update computer software, operating systems, catalogs in libraries, schools, and businesses. I was given my MRI data on a CD-ROM this year, but no computer at my high school or in my network of friends can play it. I need to either go to a doctor with a computer that is old enough or well-maintained enough to play the CD-ROM software, or purchase a dedicated CD-ROM player.
