Subject: 80's inventions

Written By: robk on 12/07/05 at 9:48 pm

::) 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.
