Great for keeping up on new technology!

This is the greatest magazine I have ever read. My dad got a subscription when I was about 11 years old ('87), and I have been a faithful reader ever since. If you're interested in new technology, and new ideas this is the magazine for you. Popular Science isn't always about the "geek" topics either, they frequently feature practical advances in bicycles, automobiles, nuclear reactors, skin grafts, fighter jets and everything else. Don't mistake Pop. Sci. for a scientific journal either. The writers do a great job of keeping the articles at an interesting level; they don't bore you with all the scientific principals of their topics, but they do explain enough so that you get the basic idea behind a concept. My one and only complaint about the magazine is that occasionally their stories have a liberal bias, but overall it's good stuff. There's a reason this magazine has been around for over 100 years. Try it out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

For Some It's Cars.... For Others It's Science

If you hate Vogue, Seventeen, YM, Teen People, Entertainment Weekly, US, etc. this is the magazine for you! If you're young like me ( almost 20 ) the people you call friends may just roll their eyes when you have this magazine on your table... It's way better than the [stuff] they read, I just wish there were more pages to it!

fun for gadget enthusiasts

Much better than WIRED. deals in realities and up and coming tech.
