1940s Technology

The 1940s marked a crucial period in technology, particularly driven by World War II. Advances included radar, which improved military navigation and detection, and the development of the first electronic computers, such as the ENIAC, capable of complex calculations. Additionally, significant progress in aviation led to faster jets, and the invention of the atomic bomb showcased the power of nuclear science. Post-war, technologies like television became more common in households, while innovations in materials, such as plastics, began to transform everyday products. This decade laid the foundation for many modern technologies we rely on today.
