Unit 9 Overview | Big History Project

We’re on the home stretch—our ninth unit is called Acceleration, because that’s the best way to describe the course of world history once humans created technologies that could transport us across the globe in a single day, communicate in real time with anyone anywhere, and destroy whole cities with one bomb. If you think it sounds like a bit much, you’re not alone. But watching this overview video will prepare you well for the excellent lessons and activities lined up for this unit.
