I found this CD dissappointing. Martha A. Reitman sounded exactly like what she is, a president and CEO. There was little to no detailed discussion. Alot of broad generalized and non-scientific overviews of how biology and computers are driving new technologies added up to very little. Possibly, if you have just emerged from a long hiatus living in a cave and need some clue what has been going on in the world over the last decade, this would provide you with the subject matter.
