It's the decade of Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher; cold war and glasnost; big beats, big hair and fashions that seemed like a good idea at the time. The inventions of the 1980s have people looking inward at DNA and outward to the far reaches of space. Featured inventions include: the internet, DNA profiling, the nicotine patch, MIR Space Station, and the endoscopy capsule.
