::) I am looking for a scientific invention from the 80's for a school project. It cannot be a toy. I saw The first plutonium pacemaker is made in 1988. Anyone know who it was made by? what it looked like?? Or just of a website with the info on it?
thanks

I was gonna say the Compact Disc or the Sony Walkman, but both of those were invented in the 70's
The Mobile Phone was invented in 1985.
