The Handy Technology Answer Book
Af: James E. Bobick, Naomi E. Balaban Engelsk Paperback
Exploring technology and how it made—and continues to change—the modern world!

Technology pervades our daily lives and modern society, and not just when it comes to computers and smart phones. Before there was the computer, there was the abacus. Before the smart phone, there was the telegraph and ball point pen. Electricity, penicillin, and the compass have all led to revolutionary changes in how we live. From the relationship between science and technology to the four major branches of engineering to nanotechnology, robots, and predictions for future technology, The Handy Technology Answer Book is an ideal introduction to technology in everyday life. The newsworthy, the practical, the latest and historical, are all detailed in this entertaining and informative book. It brings the vast changes and major innovations into focus through well-researched answers to more than 1,100 common questions on technology, such as …

  • What are the major time periods of technology?
  • Who is considered to be the first engineer?
  • Which individual was granted the most U.S. patents?
  • Who is the only U.S. president to receive a patent?
