XEROX

For my Xerox project, I created a tree out of cut out pieces of my hands and feet. I created a tree because a tree represents strength and prosperity. I chose to create a tree because I think a strong tree represents a strong life, with the use of hands, legs, and feet I interpret that having a strong base as a human translates to being sturdy and confident like a tree is in the forest. Trees are also essential for life as they produce oxygen for us to breath. The healthy body parts I used can translate to being healthy, strong and a confident individual will lead you a very prosperous life as trees have, as they can live 100's of years. This project was a very fun project that brought me nabk to arts and crafts I did as a kid. The big difference was that this arts and crafts project has a bigger and deeper meaning than when I was a kid and would cut out my hand to make a turkey.

Flipbook

I created an Easter theme flipbook which shows a Red egg pumping up the crowd before riding down a ramp and doing some cool tricks on a skateboard. This project, while although very tedious work was a lot of fun and enjoyable. When I was younger I used to always make flipbooks so I can't believe now as a college student I am creating them again! I hope you enjoy!!

Mr.Roboto

I think mine, as well as many others biggest fear, is the day when AI (Artificial Intelligence) gets too advanced for our own good that they take over the world and then that's the end of human civilization. While today we are still in control I think the things robots can do is extremely impressive. They do more than just help create cars and other things on an assembly line, today they are able to talk, cook, and do things just as normal LIVING humans can do such as intimidate breathing, blinking and talking in accents and many different languages. This is crazy!!!! some are created so well that it is hard to tell if it is a robot or a real person. If you've seen the movie Transendence, starring Johnny Depp you can see firsthand what can occur when we advance technology such as robots too much. In the movie AI takes over peoples living bodies and can repair cuts and broken bones in seconds, this is a pretty cool thing if then they didn't take over your mind and make you follow commands as now you are under their control. Luckily that is just a movie, but if that happens in real life, you can find me on the next SpaceX rocket en route to Mars because there is no way I would make it out alive after the "Robot Revolution." As technology is advancing some of the things they are able to do is amazing and makes everyday life easier. I just hope that it doesn't get to the point where we can no longer control it.

Artist and Inventor Differences

To me, an artist is someone who creates something, usually in the form of music, a painting, or a drawing in order to express themselves. Often they are created for pleasure that has no real use but to have people observe it and form their own opinions. An inventor is someone who creates a product that is like any other or someone who advances an already created product. An artist and an inventor are two terms that can intertwine as an artist is creating something unlike anything done before but it isn't used for anything like a physical technology or other product would be used. therefore I believe while closely related there is a fine line between an inventor and an artist.
