Did you Know?
“Notabilia” is a fancy way of saying “things worth noticing.” In historical terms, “notabilia” describes events and people that had a significant impact either on their moment in time, or on culture since. For example, the 20th century was full of notabilia — in the form of the two world wars, important people doing memorable things, and many society-changing inventions ranging from the Wright Brothers’ first aircraft and Einstein’s theory of relativity to radio, television, and computers. Modern tech stars hope the ideas and products they develop today will help create the notabilia of tomorrow.
