Well, it was a bit interesting, if somewhat childlike in its presentation. Pity that in the last segment, when explaining that there are 1000 m in 1 km, they sort of treated the m and the km as two discrete units, rather than simply one unit with a prefix.
Still, progress of sorts! Interesting that NASA seems to be promoting this, when we all know that they are as much the villain as anyone in resisting the US's conversion to the metric system. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Naughtin To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 5:36 AM Subject: [USMA:46304] YouTube metric You might find this interesting: http://www.encyclopedia.com/video/DQPQ_q59xyw-metric-standard-measurement-systems.aspx Cheers, Pat Naughtin Author of the ebook, Metrication Leaders Guide, that you can obtain from http://metricationmatters.com/MetricationLeadersGuideInfo.html PO Box 305 Belmont 3216, Geelong, Australia Phone: 61 3 5241 2008 Metric system consultant, writer, and speaker, Pat Naughtin, has helped thousands of people and hundreds of companies upgrade to the modern metric system smoothly, quickly, and so economically that they now save thousands each year when buying, processing, or selling for their businesses.
