Week 1 Assignment



   I knew after reading "The Two Cultures and The Scientific Revolution" by C.P. Snow, I  knew that there were plenty of concepts that I could relate to personally. The relationship between art and science is something that I take note of every time I walk into the Wasserman Football Facility. The athletic training tables, which are scientifically designed to be perfect for doing any kind of treatment on, also looks very luxurious with high quality leather and top of the line maple legs.

      This perspective of art being featured in objects influenced by science made me realize that art can give gloomy things an brighter side as if they light up the room. In terms of technology, you see computers in almost every workplace and home and most of the time they all are the same computers and look fairly simple. I think that a prime example of art being influenced in scientific innovation is in personal computers. The customization options that a computer owner has is incredible and can add a whole new positive view to the idea of having to spend time on your computer to get work done.













     In Professor Vesna's article, "Toward a Third Culture: Being In Between", she mentions that literary individuals and scientists still have a, "very fragile bridge" between them. I do not think that any college student will have a good idea what a scientist is talking about if they use their own scientific terms, which is what I think is what Vesna is alluding to, but I do believe that it is important to keep trying to build that bridge so that both parties can understand what is being said. An example of this would be a medical checkup, or maybe a contractor to work on your home.
