Bestselling author Bruno Preisendörfer's next time travel: In pursuit of the philosophy of everyday objects and what they do to us. In 1963, when first-grader Bruno Preisendörfer excitedly embarked on his first school journey, his school bag still had a cloth for his slate, calculations were done with a pencil and slide rule, music was listened to on the radio or on LP, and only 14 percent of the population had a telephone - the Preisendörfers were not among them, they also did not have a television at home nor a typewriter with which to write the manuscript for this book. With a mix of irritation, fascination, and mischievous wonder, Preisendörfer reflects on the rapid development that took place in his personal everyday life over the course of a few decades. Sometimes with a touch of nostalgia, sometimes captivated, but always engaged.
