As We May Think- Erika Galvez

When i first started reading this article i questioned whether or not i had gotten the right link. The topic of science seemed unrelated to our usual lectures, but the more i read i started to see a connection between the two. The fact that this article was written back in 1945 could go unnoticed since a lot of the topics discussed still apply today. "The world has arrived at an age of cheap complex devices of great reliability; and something is bound to come of it." He was so right! His visions on photography alone are eerily close. "The cord which trips its shutter may reach down a man's sleeve within easy reach of his fingers". Just the other day i got a remote for my DSLR, which is basically what he described. He actually describes a lot of the technologies we use today and currently take for granted. Digital photography, information compression thanks to computer chips and processors,e-books, just to name a few. I really can't wait to see what comes out of our generation 65 years from now. We have certainly come a long way.
