As a student it serves me well

I am a college student and I read Scientific American every month. I am currently taking Biology II and many times I find that my textbook is incorrect. I know that it's not the fault of the college or authors of the books, it's just that they are always finding new things. They disprove old theories and take hold of new ones. To me this is very interesting. I feel like it puts me ahead of the average student just by reading Scientific American. Several times I have shared the information with my Bio class and they too are amazed at the new technology and the fact that our books become quickly outdated. Several students in this class have also taken out subscriptions to the magazine to further their knowledge. Scientific American is not just for science "geeks" or rocket scientists. Of course these people do the research and write the articles, but they write in such a way that the average person can read and understand it. I think the more people who are interested in Science and Technology the better off we will be as a nation.
