Understanding everyday technology with ‘The Little Handbook of Cool Technology’

Talking about the book cross-disciplinary entrepreneur, scientist, mathematician, engineer, writer and speaker Ben Goertzel says, ‘As a father of five kids, currently ranging in age from thirty-one years to six months, I’ve personally seen what a challenge it can be to break down the essentials of modern technology into clearly explained, entertainingly presented, bite-sized portions that are suitable for young minds to understand. So, I was quite excited when I saw this little book which meets this challenge so fantastically.’

Educationalist, founder trustee of Meghshala Trust and founder director and Chief Design Officer of Ontum Education Pvt Ltd Jyoti Thyagarajan says, ‘After spending a lifetime in classrooms, yearning for study material that is current, useful and on-point, I finally find just that in this book.’

Authors Shalini Satish and Raam Baranidharan add, ‘During the pandemic, the internet exposure for kids increased significantly. We were looking for a book that explains concepts of everyday technology to our 9-year old daughter but couldn’t find a book off the shelf. This inspired us to write a book which is useful not only for kids but also for adults who are new users of technology and parents who are looking to introduce their kids to internet technology fundamentals. The Little Handbook of Cool Technology aims to kindle curiosity about everyday technology such as the internet, search engines and artificial intelligence. With fascinating trivia, interesting activities and colourful illustrations this book explains technology that we use in daily life in bite sized portions.’
