Homework on Your Computer

A parent might reach for this book when their tech-savvy child asks what computers were like 'in the olden days.' This is not a modern how-to guide, but a fascinating time capsule from 1999, showing kids how to use then-current technology like CD-ROMs and clip art for school reports. It’s a perfect book to spark curiosity about the history of technology and open up conversations about how much has changed. For children 9-13, it builds self-confidence by showing that the core skills of research, organization, and presentation are timeless, even when the tools evolve dramatically. It’s a fun, nostalgic read that can bridge a generational gap between parents and kids.
