Reviews

[Arvind Srinivasan · Rating 4 out of 5]

One could feel amazed on how updated sujatha was during 1989. Explanation in tamil on basics of computer are still very much needed for a guy like me to understand things better.

Starting with basics going into how things have come to this stage through envision of people long ago and how things could enlarge are well portrayed in this book.

Some of the predictions were spot on and some helps us realise, why things that we read in news papers in past actually happened. The book might be a bit hectic and just reading 10 pages together might consume lot in you. Still a very good read
