Futurist Peter Von Stackelberg created this massive, intricate timeline which details social, technological, economic and political events and trends from 1750 to 2100.
The designer explains:
The purpose of the timeline is to provide a visual tool for looking at events across a relatively long period of time and identify patterns and interrelationships involving a broad range of factors. Identification of patterns is particularly important when attempting to look at the future of complex social, technological, economic, and other systems.
