This document provides a timeline of key developments in electronics from 600 BC to the present:
- It begins in 600 BC with Thales of Miletus discovering static electricity by rubbing fur on amber. Important early developments include William Gilbert coining the term "electric" in 1600 and Alessandro Volta inventing the battery in 1800.
- Major milestones in the 19th century include Michael Faraday's law of induction in 1831, Samuel Morse developing the telegraph and Morse code in 1844, and Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone in 1876.
- The 20th century saw many innovations like the integrated circuit by Jack Kilby in 1958, the first microprocessor by Intel in 1970
