Dada manifesto

Dada is a deconstruct from art. It is so unique because it questions the whole idea and theme behind classic art. Anything can be art.

Video games and bullying

Call of duty calls to children. Video games are fun. Anyone who has ever battled the goombas or played Wii tennis has felt the exertion of video game competition. But are these video games becoming too violent? Are American children being brainwashed to believe that shotguns are normal and grenades are cool? Probably a little. 

There is always a crazy person that screws everything up for everyone else. Video games are a media medium. They are rated, controlled, and hopefully supervised by parents. T here is no difference from the horror and gore on the television or  movies and video games.  The respinsibility resides with the parents as to what a child is exposed to. Therefore, if a child is susceptible to being bullied or actually bullying, a good parent is meant to notice and control the atmosphere.

Gameplay is intense. I have personally been put off by foul mouthed players over the internet. However, their pointed remarks of my emminent demise only reminded me that I was playing a game.  Those susceptible to bullying online are probably bullied elsewhere. Exposure to both video games and innapropriate movies can desensitise anyone.  The ability to control exposure is the most important thing.

Adobe in 1985, John Warnock

Adobe's relationship with Apple made the Macintosh computer valuable.  Mac was able to pair with Adobe to create a visual editing and printing process which altered the paths of graphic designers, photographers, video editors, and other media professions for years to come.

With Adobe's editing process and it's ability to print exactly what was on the screen, Apple was finally able to make progress in their fight against Big Blue.

Why is apple called apple and when did Steve Jobs come back to Apple?

Google! Steve's own nemesis gave me a very quick answer to why Apple is called Apple. On Apple's news website, OSXDaily.com, Paul Horowitz explains the name origin.  Steve Jobs was inspired by his experience working in California in apple orchards when he was younger. He described the word as "fun, spirited, and not intimidating."  He also ties the symbol of the Apple with Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity in his first apple logo.

Steve Jobs, after dabbling in Disney and Pixar animation, returned to his rightful position with Apple in  1996. With his promotion, he ousted unnecessary branches and developed what we know today as the most influential computer company of our generation. 

Raymond Kurzweil

The future, as described by this innovative mind, will be a synthesis of human power with technological progress. He believes that technology does not evolve linearly, it evolves exponentially.

His explorations include nanotechnology in medicine, artificial intelligence, and brain scanning technology. For example, he believes that the ideas from the minority report are not too far-fetched.
Hopefully, some of his ideas come true.  He predicts that by 2050, nanobots will greatly extend the human lifespan.

Old time Radio

Terror From Outer Space

Old time radio is an incredible media. The use of imagination while listening is impossible to resist. "Its as if someone is making me think about it." The narration from this broadcast was incredibly graphic.  The idea that this was all done live is incredible. The sci-fi of old time radio is filled with ideas of alien encounters. 

The news of old time radio is also important.  Broadcasts done live sound very similar to the war or the worlds broadcasts.  They have to speak a lot because they are responsible for everything that the listener imagines.
