Journey back to the 1980s with this retro-tastic History Channel program that charts the most mind-blowing technological advances of the era, which now -- let's face it -- look a lot like ancient relics. You'll visit the Computer History Museum and see some of the world's earliest PCs, hear from the inventors of the Betamax and Walkman, and take a tour of Silicon Valley, the hot-bed of high-tech activity that started it all.

In a blast from the past, Modern Marvels investigates the transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age - a digital decade dedicated to ergonomics and entertainment. During a tour of Silicon Valley - birthplace of some of the greatest inventions, including the personal computer - discover how the microchip ushered in an era that revolutionized the way we work, play, and communicate. Steve "Woz" Wozniak explains the evolution of Apple computers, while Sony employees provide a reminder of what it was like when Walkmans, Betamax, and the first CD players were first seen on the market.
