A good book for those who are baffled by dome of the current tech speak. Good visuals to help with understanding

Still not as entertaining as the one on philosophy, but this book really made me think about some ideas about the future which really emphasizes the "thought-provoking" in the tittle.

Get Technology is great for everyone who is a little lost regarding all these new things that appaer everything on TV. But for me, it wasn't anything new. Although It was good, I wasn't hooked. I guess I didn't particulary like the writing style

These are thought-provoking issues for students to consider, and are interesting because it concerns their future. Older students will need less explanation than younger students.

Get Technology, explores twenty technologies from the basics to applications to everyday life. The topics cover a wide spectrum from Virtual Reality to Artificial Intelligence. This series is written to provide a framework for learning and includes additional materials. I appreciated the tone, I am familiar with the concepts included in this slim volume, and it isn't pedantic or simplistic in its explanations. The supporting materials surprised me as they are not limited to non-fiction, but include novels, film, and activities all chosen to better understand the concepts.

The book is presenting technology now and technology that we might have in the future, as well as some science-fiction ideas that would probably become reality but in a far far far away future. I really liked how it explained in a few details technologies such as VR or driverless cars - the pictures with legends like where the wi-fi is, the rotating cameras and so on, were extremely helpful.

This is a great book to spark curiosity.
