This article was difficult to read, to say the least. And I felt that his point could have been made much sooner along in the essay. Interesting enough, he brought to my attention the never-ending growth of augmented space, virtual reality, and intelligent spaces to my attention. As I was reading the article I was constantly recalling experiences that I have had throughout my lifetime. As an 18 year old, I grew up with the abundance of new technologies sprouting up around me and I remember clearly going to Disney Quest in downtown Chicago when I was 10 and being amazed by this technology “I can build my own rollercoaster—-And then I can pretend to ride it!” (8-year-old Emily).
I would have never thought that 8 years later I would be studying this subject matter would be part of the focus in my college career. I also found it interesting the author really illuminates the fact that this creative knowledge will continue to affect our world for the rest of our lives, whether it is in architecture, visual arts or advances in computer technologies and research, we’ll never live a day without it.
