Today in class, we watched a documentary over the "Virtual Revolution".
It was interesting (for me at least, considering i didn't have a single inkling about this whatsoever in my head) to see just how far thing's have come virtually in the last (only) twenty-one (21) years!
It's actually quite exciting, because it's not that much older than i am. and it's like I've practically grown up with this new revolution without even knowing it. I never knew the name of the guy who created the world wide web, nor anything about how or why or anything like that.. ^^; I'm certain us people have completely skewered far away from what the scientists actually had in mind for this generically amazing idea when they first brought it to us; when the first website went on the web. Although, isn't that how great ideas are supposed to go? one person develops it, hands it to the people and we do something alternately unique than what they first had?
Kinda reminds me of the Rubiks Cube:
The idea was to match up the colors so that each side had all the same.. but it's like once you do it, then you've got to tweak it a little until it becomes something completely different
than what the creator/founder had in mind.
than what the creator/founder had in mind.
Anyhow, I thought the movie was pretty interesting, and i learned quite a bit i had yet to learn about. It was different. What I mean, is that you go to school, and you learn about all these other historical revolutions in our past, but never hear anything about the one going on right this minute, with all of us as the (unconscious) revolutionaries. Just something different, something to wake us up and keep us involved, because we now know we ARE involved, and all the historical revolutions are just yet another teaching tool on how to do this right.
