Description

Discover how everyday technology works with this graphic guide. From simple objects like zip fasteners and can openers to sophisticated devices like smartwatches and driverless cars, this book explains the hidden workings behind modern inventions. Step-by-step explanations are supported by original graphics that take devices apart and show you how they work. The book starts with principles that underpin lots of devices, before grouping them by application - such as home, transportation, and computing. This makes it easy to find similar devices side by side, helping you understand the technology behind your everyday objects. Perfect for anyone curious about how the modern world works, this guide is ideal for those without a background in STEM subjects or simply wanting to learn more about the machinery that keeps our lives running smoothly.
