I bought this collection to use in teaching my communication courses at the graduate level.

I show segments from the 2057s in my Human Communication on the Internet course. Some students find some of the ideas disturbing, but all students find the information thought-provoking. The presentations of the 2057s are a little cheezy, but the content is great. The 2057s DVDs are a great way to help students picture the possible future of the Internet and computer use.

The giant panda special is one of the best ever made. Now follow me on this, if my veterinarian-daughter helps with the artificial insemination, then she's at least a little bit the father, and I'm the grandmother. (grin) They filmed this baby's life from planning through the first year, and it is the best documentary done on the topic of the giant panda. Plus, he's the cutest grandbaby ever!

I use Mythbusters as discussion prompts for teaching experimental research. By showing segments by these guys--and doing some of the experiments in class. We have a fun way to discuss the scientific method, variables, and other principles from the research. The students love the Myth Busters, and it makes an excellent prompt for discussing research and experimentation.
