"Surrealism"

Surrealism is a 20th century literary and artistic movement. Imagination and artists would try and portray images of the subconscious mind. Dream elements for example would be added to different pieces of work, making various art pieces complex and interesting.

"Strange Beauty of Historic Computers"

 This article appealed to me in many ways. It shows the history of computers and how much our world has advanced throughout the ages. It was quite interesting seeing pictures of computers that would take up entire rooms such as IBM's first computer. Also, I noticed how many of the computers influenced designs for future computers. It was hard to believe that a computer known as the "The Witch" weighed over 2.5 metric tons!

"Kids; Learn to Code" -Zuckerberg/Gates

I think this article and video clips were very interesting. Zuckerberg and Gates are right in the points they make urging kids to get computer experience and study computer programming. People dont understand how important computer technology is to our society, and when kids start early who knows the possibilities people could discover!
