As We May Think

This article examines how science has changed since post-World War II and the amazing impacts it is currently pursuing in the field of art. During the war, scientists and physicists applied all their knowledge to creating weapons of mass destruction. After the war, a single branch of science split up into multiple limbs that delve deeper into more diverse areas of science. With each division, came the need for more scientists of different backgrounds. And with each new influx of scientists, technologies we thought were impossible are now being made into reality. One such technology is micro-photography. I am especially interested in this area of research because it can have a large impact on film and video-how we record it and how we can play it back. The new blu-ray discs are already gaining speed in dvd sales and is redefining how we store and archive media files. This one technology has a ripple effect on all other technologies, ie: blu-ray hd camcorders/blu-ray dvd players/etc.
