It is fascinating that the things we take for granted such as music, movies, and advertisements, take an incredible amount of planning and technology to accomplish. These things can take us to other worlds that we could never even imagine, such as the movie Avatar that you mentioned, or other movies such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Technology has enabled us to visualize and experience new realities, and has expanded our imagination exponentially.

We see it in movies (I love the Avatar picture), just seeing how animation has progressed from putting together scenes of hand drawn cartoons like the original Mickey mouse to the Disney animation we have today and the CGI that we see in almost ever pop culture movie we see today. It is amazing to see these connections. It will only keep getting better, soon enough we won't be able to tell the difference between what is real and what is not, it's already hard enough to tell.mattfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213380106097570349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258237373522010735.post-61912943925231922072016-04-06T00:00:09.851-07:002016-04-06T00:00:09.851-07:00I also found detail in lecture regarding the view ...I also found detail in lecture regarding the view that "scientists want to purify common language to avoid ambiguity, while poets and literary intellectuals purify common language to express the inexpressible" to be pretty fascinating. I personally don't identify scientists as translators of the common language. In contrast, I feel that for people who are not well-versed in scientific terminology or even if they were familiar with elementary scientific knowledge, most scientific findings would sound like scientific jargon and would not be colloquially expressed—bringing in more ambiguity to the average Joe that may exist even in the realm of science in itself. However, I do agree with the statement that poets and literary intellectuals may convey more wholesome and perhaps even more accurate depictions than the common language may offer. Their tactful manipulations of diction, metaphors, syntax, etc. may provide more colorful illustrations or descriptions people may relate to and discover personal meanings to.<br />I also liked the images and videos you selected to demonstrate how the artistic and scientific communities work together often to create some of the most famous and appreciated pieces of work.Iris Konghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798541412405353436noreply@blogger.com
