Description
You will be surprised by the answers. Here are the fascinating stories behind the everyday activities that we all take for granted. Find out the answers to these questions and many more. What happens when you: throw a punch on a computer game? press print on a 3D printer? throw food down a waste disposal system? tweet on twitter? recycle your soda can? charge your iPad? boot up your computer? take out the trash? Inspired illustrations add whimsy to the easily understood answers, even when those questions seem opaque. Readers of all ages will be surprised where the answers take them.
