Technology Has Changed The Way We View Our Surroundings!






The world has undoubtedly changed over the course of the last 50 years with the technological development of the film industry.  Movies not have incorporated computer animation which extends the ability to take the viewer into a fantasy world for a few hours.  At the same time, other viewers -- namely, those who choose to watch documentaries or educational shows have also benefitted greatly from the advance in technology too.


Documentaries about the world around us are brought to the viewer in high definition.  Nature shows exhibit a viewing quality almost unmatched by the viewer who is present at the recording.  Two examples are shown below.  Both are taken from Twitter Posts.



The first Twitter post is from 'Science Channel' and shows the evolution of a bug being attacked and eventually swallowed by a nearby predator:







The second is from the Twitter account 'The Futurist' shows the projection of topographical colors over sandcastles to teach children about topography:






Take the opportunity and search the internet for great illustrations of nature along with other scientific illustrations.  The internet is filled with examples.  Spending a small amount of weekly time searching/viewing could help bridge the gap between society and science.



Take part in bridging the gap.  Help us alleviate the disparity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) career fields.  Every person can use a little update/education into the science which drives our world (and society).
