The EU time machine: How European politics have changed our daily lives over the past 35 years
Find out how life has changed since 1979
1979 was the year when mobile phones were still an exotic feature on Star Trek and going to another EU country involved waiting for hours at the border. Relive those times with the help of our time machine and find out what has changed since then and how the European Parliament has helped to make a difference.
The app demonstrates how Europe has evolved by comparing the situation today with that of 1979, when the first European elections took place.
How it works
The time machine is shaped as an apartment as it would have been 35 years ago. By entering it, you are given a tour and by clicking on different everyday objects in the room, you find out about relevant developments since 1979, such as the euro, passport-free travel and data protection.
The app, available in 24 languages, can be accessed online. It is shareable and embeddable.
Where you can find it
The EU time machine is already online and can be found on the election website or directly here.
