The conversation we had on Monday was intriguing for many reasons mostly because of the topic of where technology is taking us in the near future. the first thing i want to comment on is the idea of factories being able to run themselves with little if any human intervention, after of course the initial construction. the example of the Volkswagen factory was a little frightening but more then anything it was an impressive display of our most current technology in action. I think the reading "Rich Get Richer" also brought up some interesting points that could easily be connected with scripting. namely the relationship or networking idea compared to the way script is written, working as a whole with every line essential to the overall. Through the semester thus far i have viewed scripting from a more skeptical viewpoint but with each discussion I have to admit that i am slowly coming around to the idea of how useful of a tool it could be when designing.
