"manovich"

I found the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis interesting so I found some information on it.
Whorf developed the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis while studying the Hopi Indian tribe. when he found that there are not any words for past, present and future he began to think if the Hopi tribe viewed the world differently than westerners.
The Whorf-Sapir hypothesis consists of two statements that are meant to connect thought and language. Whorf has given definition to "linguistic determinism" which means that humans may only be able to think about process, objects and conditions regarding language. Whorf also believes that different cultures perceive the world in different ways, and that one's culture is determined by its language. (www.geocites.com/collegepark/4110/whorf.html_15k)

"manovich"

Manovich compared Blade Runner to Mac's GUI. he says what differentiated the two was that "decay is not tolerated" regarding Mac's GUI of 1982. However is it possible that in the future these computer systems should fail? Is it possible that the clarity and functionality regarding these computer systems may not be constant? especially when we consider that after so many years civilizations have fallen to destruction. :)

What makes me think.
There has been a great culture shift since the writer's strike and has caused me to think about intellectual property and what the world would be like with just reality t.v and game shows. *shudder*

Lexa says:

I'm really interested in psychology, and have recently been reading a book by Abraham Maslow. He has created a theory called the 'Hierarchy of Needs.' Check it out. I know it's a lot of reading, but read the synopsis and skim a little.




This is a little something that makes me laugh. These dinosaurs are able to make me think about serious social, and political issues as well as make me giggle. Also, what's better than a totally goofy T-Rex.

this makes me think
and this makes me laugh

Sometime I think and laugh, but most of the time I sleep.

A website that happens to make me think is Worth1000.com. It makes me think things like, "Wow" and, "I'll never be that talented", or on a rare occasion, "I can do that, on a good day."

I laugh at things like this cat.

I sleep because of things like my highschool website. Don't open it. You will fall asleep too.
