Abstract:

A school pupil named Ofek gets a class final excercise from his teacher, to write about the history of computers. Ofek, who is not connected to the field in any way and most of his time engaged in the field of music, doesn't know how to write the work and where to start. After searching for information on Google and consulting with his programmer uncle, Ofek still doesn't know how to start his work.

When Ofek tries to read about the subject in the encyclopedia, he falls asleep, and discovers that he woke up in a lab where he meets the inventor of the first computer. Every time Ofek wakes up again, he meets another inventor. Ofek takes advantage of the one-time opportunity given to him and interviews the inventors, experiences their issues from the origin and also helps some of them in their work.

Among the inventors whom Ofek interviews during his journey, you will find: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Alan Turing and many others.

Reviews And Comments

Critic

Excellent for teenagers

Rating 5 out of 1-5

In my opinion, the book is excellent especially for today's youth because it exposes them to a world that they most likely do not know. Beyond that, it explains how inventors researched and how they came to develop a product that today resides in our pocket and very intuitive to use, but in the past it was rare and its use was cumbersome and tedious. Most of the sections in the book are suitable even for children in elementary school.

Critic

Enriching with knowledge

Rating 5 out of 1-5

The book enriched me with a new knowledge that I didn't know. For example, I didn't know that before high-level languages were developed, the developers were using low-level languages like assembly. I didn't even know that punch cards were used. The book is highly recommended for young people who don't know the world of the past. It sometimes feels like "back to the future" of the computer's world.

Critic

Exciting and nostalgic

Rating 5 out of 1-5

The book made me feeling nostalgic and took me back years ago, to a time when computers were a rare and expensive product. I really liked that it mentions different periods with different experiences, such as the period when I used diskettes or the period of Windows 95.
