Members Reviews:
OK Content, Terrible Reading
This program is OK but basic. If you are already familiar with nano tech, you probably already know much of what's in this audiobook. To be fair, this is an introduction however, one chapter covers the basics of the metric system. If you don't already know about the metric system, then you have bigger problems than learning about nano tech.
The real problem with this program is that it is read by the author. She stops in the middle of sentences for uncomfortably long periods of time and talks in the most boring monotone possible. I feel sorry for the student in her classes that have to listen to her take interesting material and hammer it flat.
Dont Bother

Completely Lifeless
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Dissapointment
Any additional comments?
The information in this read was pretty outdated as were many of the concepts. If you are completely uninitiated in the field then its an ok start. I was surprised since the Modern Scholar series is normally really good.
Exhausting to listen to
A very uninspired book. I'm sorry, but I feel as if the narrator is going to die of respiratory failure at the end of each sentence..this makes for a very uncomfortable reading. It's probably just me, but either way..simply exhausting! I've had this book for two months now, and I'm struggling to get to the end of it! Just fifteen minutes left! It will be a miracle!
SO EXCITED NOW ABOUT NANOTECHNOLOGY & OUR FUTURE
What made the experience of listening to A Bridge to the Future: Understanding Nanotechnology, Part 1 the most enjoyable?
Just so many examples of how nanotechnology is being used and how it will be used and how it can be used. AMAZING, a must read.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Bridge to the Future: Understanding Nanotechnology, Part 1?
I guess after hearing everything nanotechnology can do when it was said that Universities are working hard to make nanotechnology programs because there will be so many jobs in this area and we need people trained.
