- Reading
- Browse by interest rather than reading straight through: choose a familiar area first, then compare it with an unfamiliar one and follow up together on questions that arise.
- Themes
- Technology through time: The book traces developments across communication, home technology, transport and newer technologies, and looks towards possible future propulsion. It presents a broad informational account of technologies and their development, with some forward-looking material.
- Worth knowing
- Some examples reach into complex applications, including robotics in surgery and heavy industry, alongside speculative future propulsion; a child may want help distinguishing present uses from future-looking ideas.
