I always wanted something like a "History of human progress" which when zoomed out shows me something like this:

    -2000000 Stone tools
    -1000000 Using fire
       -6000 Metal tools
       -6000 Agriculture
       -4000 Writing
        1550 Printing
        1888 Telephones
        1888 Cars
        1903 Planes
        1941 Penicillin
        1941 First computer
        1982 Homecomputers
        1983 Mobile phones
        1990 The internet
        2001 Wikipedia
        2004 Facebook 
        2007 IPhone
        2022 ChatGPT
And then I can zoom in on particular areas of time and see smaller milestones.
