This document provides a timeline of key developments in the history of electronics from 600 BC to 2007 AD. Some of the major milestones included Thales of Miletus discovering static electricity in 600 BC, Alessandro Volta inventing the battery in 1800, Michael Faraday publishing the law of induction in 1831, Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone in 1876, Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb in 1878, the integrated circuit being invented by Jack Kilby in 1958, and Apple introducing the first iPhone in 2007. The timeline shows the many important advances over the centuries that have helped develop modern electronics.
