Grammar
"From...to"
Hi all,
From telegram to the internet, from power to nuclear bomb, these advancement in technology revolutionized our lives.
I am writing a essay on the society's reliance on technology and this sentence wrote does not seem quite natural to me. How would you express this idea? I mean is there another way to express the same idea?
Secondly, since I am not familiar with the 'from...to' structure at all. I wonder if you could kindly tell me more about it or direct me to a webpage that deals with it. I do not the name of this type of structure. What should you type into the seacrh engine?
Thank you.
Best wishes,
PBF

1-- With a little cosmetics, I think your sentence is very fine indeed: From the telegraph to the internet, from horsepower to nuclear energy , advancements in technology have revolutionized our lives. I doubt you will find a grammar reference to this structure-- it is just two prepositional phrases, like from Tokyo to Yokohama, from coast to coast, from beginning to end.

You could try to Google "from * to", but no guarantees! It will only give you examples of the usage.
