chart police! offence code 187 - meaningless axis

nowandnext (of trend blend tube map fame, which I loved) have just released

a new Innovation Timeline visualisation chart.

It's quite pretty, but what does the Y-axis represent? On top of this, it doesn't actually make things any clearer or more meaningful than a vanilla list would. Nice background though.

I have reported it to the newly formed chart police.
