What do the tablet wars have to do with Groupon’s success, the death of  Steve Jobs and the last blows dealt by WikiLeaks to the Secret Services? They are some of the events that shook the world of technology throughout last year.

 

Udemy, the educational project that aims at enabling anyone to teach and learn online, has summarized the major events that happened in technology over the course of the last 12 months in an interactive infographics called Techrospective.

 

And there’s no denying that a lot of stuff has been going on – brand new technologies, flops, successes and revolutionary takeovers. Just run through the months and you’ll be amazed by the way technology keeps quickening its step, changing our lives in the meantime.
