About our technology quizzes
Technology trivia connects the steam engine to the smartphone. This category covers the famous inventors whose ideas changed everything, the history of the internet from early networks to the web, and the video games and consoles that shaped modern play.
Every answer includes a short explanation and an extra fact, so a question about a patent becomes a story about the person behind it. Dates, firsts and records are checked against reliable sources, and questions are updated as technology moves on.

Good to know before you play
How technical are the questions?
They are written for general readers. You do not need to be an engineer to enjoy them, and the explanations cover the jargon.
Are the video game questions about old or new games?
Both. Classic arcade and console history sits alongside modern franchises and sales records.
Do you update tech records?
Yes. Sales figures, firsts and company facts are reviewed regularly and corrected when they change.
