Today, the most interesting use of what I guess I should call modern technology, was at the cinema. My family and some friends went to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2. The fact that these movies were created entirely on computer is amazing. They are animated but the animation is quite different from the hand drawn animation I grew up watching. The characters and the sets appear to have depth. They don't appear to be two dimensional drawings pasted onto a painted background. To top it off, the movies were just re-released in 3-D. They handed out polarized glasses when we entered the cinema and it was very impressive to watch these movies in this format. Certainly, these movies could not have been made without computers.
