Summary

From a new generation of cell phones that send pictures and short movies, to plasma TV screens, supercomputers and the worldwide web, technological progress has led to more exciting inventions in this title of the Crafty Inventions series. Get connected to the 'information superhighway' and find out if you could live in a virtual reality. Learn about the fastest computers in the world, how special software can trick your senses and how engineers build cars on screen. Then put what you have learned into practice by making a state-of-the-art mobile phone booth, a virtual reality helmet, a strap-on microchip maze and a set of groovy CD coasters.
