Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500: Scrollable visualization of computing, communication, and control from the 1500s to the present categorized by things like communication devices, interfaces, algorithms, education, human bodies, biometrics, medical, policing, energy and resources, etc. Lots of ways to browse this; one interesting option is to zoom in on the era you were born (if it was long enough ago to be referred to as an era) and scroll your way across horizontally.
