I’ve really enjoyed the role tools have played in this course.  last week, watching Zev get scanned was pretty incredible.  I recall being seven and playing a video game that probably took many months to create, both in drawing and function.  Though now, within minutes, we had an identifiable recreation of Zev on a computer screen.  What does this mean for identity?  We saw last week as well how different google searches for “3D Men” and “3D Women” could be.  I’m reminded of facebook and the dichotomy often seen in peoples photos; that is, ones taken of themselves, or chosen to be profile pictures, often look a great deal different from what photos others tag them in. . .

The attached video shows how sound waves can be manipulated in relation to physical material…  Pretty neat stuff, kind of a silly video though. . .
