I teach jr. high technology and it's nice to have decently produced movies to have students watch in case of a sub or to fill a gap or any other reason. This collection offers an excellent value for high-quality videos. Just because they're educational videos doesn't mean they need to be boring. This collection of Modern Marvels successfully captures the excitement of the technology itself to keep kids (and myself!) interested.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the selection seems a little random. If you're going to make a collection, ideally it would cover what would be the most pertinent topics, not random things like monster trucks or candy. But it's cheap enough that it's a minor qualm.

The videos got here in great timing and were exactly what I needed. I show these videos to my technology class when our "technology" (computers) fail. The kids loooove the monster truck video.

Anyone who loves History and Technology will love these videos. Actually, even if you don't enjoy history, you still will love these videos. Very well put together with a nice mix of history and today's times. Great for all ages. Our favorite is the video of candy manufacturing. They are all educational and interesting.

They chose a nice collection. While I don't like the series as much as Extreme Engineering, it gives you a lot of interesting facts about the projects.

for the price you can have it and give it to any one to learn after you watch it
