This is because computers make creating music much easier as there are a wide array of sounds, rhythms, and it makes it easier to record and fine tune songs. Computers have allowed musicians to make their music  sound better and help with the production and distribution of their music. The article "How Computer Science Impacted Music" goes in-depth into how the music industry has been impacted by computer science.

Question about how music is made using CS:

What types of software are used to create digital music (create different sounds,virtual instruments...etc)? What types of instruments do they use to base off digital sounds/instruments? What software is used for that?

Perhaps, maybe even your favorite show?

The article, "What is CGI? Examples of Computer-Generated Imagery in Film," helps bring light to the importance CGI has in the filming industry.

An open question about CGI may include:

Will, there be a time when CGI is so advanced that the need for actors or the people behind the camera is no longer a must? If yes, what do you think will be the outcome?]]> 2022-02-15 13:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048611963 Ishika Bhalla 3011705 https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048624760 Animation is a diverse method many use especially in movie making or video game designing. There are many different types of animations like 2d and 3d animation which can make the process brutal but video games are also a challenging platform when it comes to animation. There is a ton of work when it comes to creating and animation. If you are interested in the differences in animations when it comes to games and in movies, you will find the article ¨How Animation for Games is Different from Animation for Movies¨ intriguing. 

An open question about games and movie animation would be:

What similarities do video games and movies have when it comes to animation? Do they both use similar types of animation or is the process the same?

2D and 3D animations solve the problem of not having child-friendly tv shows, movies, etc. Animations look appealing to children watching their cartoons. It is an improvement because it advances entertainment to another level. The incredible and the transformers are examples of 3D animations while The Jungle Book, The Simpsons, and Snow White are examples of 2D animations. How can we advance these animations to excel in what it has already accomplished? ]]> 2022-02-15 14:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048627099 Jaival Jariwala https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048631413 Computer science and video games have always been entwined. Many video games are based on computers and as computers and technology advance, so do video games. The article "Ask an Expert: How Computer Science Has Impacted Games" shows many examples of how computer science has changed and shaped the way video games function and are designed. 

An open question about video games would be:

At one point, will technology and video games advance so much that it will be hard to differentiate between simulation and reality?]]> 2022-02-15 14:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048631413 Agastya Chinchankar https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048640320 Computer science has greatly transformed and advanced the electronic gaming industry. With new developments in coding, games have become more entertaining for the users.
Now, people can learn how to code along with play each other's games and watch each other's animations on scratch.mit.edu, a coding platform made by MIT to get kids started with coding in block form.

Open Question:

Will AI eventually be able to formulate one's written ideas and code them into full-on games?]]> 2022-02-15 14:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048640320 Vishnu Somisetty 30155822 https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048644327 Did you know the fastest human solve on a 3x3 Rubik's cube is 3.47 seconds. that's fast but now it has been changed by AI, as it solves the Rubik's cube in 1 second!

The article"AI solves Rubik's Cube in one second" addresses this.  This is improvement as it now solves it even more faster. I hope you enjoy his article!

The video game industry is an ever-evolving area, and those interested in the field may ask how does computer science impact games. In today’s highly technological world, game developers are constantly looking for new fresh ideas to broaden the range of consumers seeking to purchase and play an array of video games. As computer science has progressed, the video game industry has implemented various computing technology concepts. Computer science has improved graphics, enhanced multiplayer games, enabled cloud-based and on-demand gaming, and availability of virtual and augmented reality.]]> 2022-02-15 14:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048665328 Lina Romero https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048665857 Technology has helped us advance in ALOT of things, especially in the medical industry. If youve ever seen a hospital you would know that it is practicly run by technology. X rays, MRI's, CT scans, and a million other things take part in making sure that youre healthy. And now Virtual reality is taking part in that, VR is now actually being used to prepare surgeons for their surgery, and help treat phobias. This artical talks all about the new medical advancements in technology.

Open question: If you dont already know computers have done surgerys on their own before, and since technology is constantly improving do you think that the job of being a surgeon will be completely over run by robots and technology In the Future?]]> 2022-02-15 14:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048665857 Matthew Weinbrenner https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048668514 https://onix-systems.medium.com/how-virtual-reality-is-transforming-the-gaming-industry-bc0d3d606b07


Virtual Reality could change the way people view games and their perception on reality.  Many people who live off of games could lose their connection with reality and distinguish the virtual world as their main way of living. Many game companies are planning to take advantage of this and making most of their games vr compatible.

Open Question:

Will people be so hooked onto virtual reality in the future that nobody will have an excuse to go outside and actually socialize, eat or exercise? ]]> 2022-02-15 14:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048668514 https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2021/04/28/robots-arent-taking-over-the-world-yet---artificial-plus-human-intelligence-is-still-the-best-combo/?sh=61e4c8836152 https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048670808 Ever sit down in a chair and just think, "Man, I sure do wonder when my coffee maker will become sentient and try to take over the world." Luckly for us, that future is far away. In this article, it details how AI and robots have improved humanity as a whole, with the good and the bad. We have robots doing our jobs for us, witch is good for companys but not so much for people wanting jobs. Either way, the article will teach you the ups and the downs of AI and robots.]]> 2022-02-15 14:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048670808 Abraham Johnson https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048814225 Computer science seems to be taking over the world. This applies for music too. 
Recording music used to need a tape recorder. But now, we have DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) a recording software to make things easier.

You might be wondering, why do computers and music work so well together? This is because music is measured in time. Computers are very good at following directions and are more consistent at keeping time than computers are. This is why many people look to computers as the future of music. ]]> 2022-02-15 15:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048814225 Sahana Ram 3011690 https://padlet.com/patricia_drake/h6jcbrk597kjifsh/wish/2048998647 This article talks about how Computer Science has made composing intricate and flawless music pieces or songs much easier than it was before. Originally, sampling pieces needed pricy and cumbersome machines, but now through the use of new production software sampling other songs is easier than ever. Computers allow composers to access so many music resources. This let composers find the beat that they're looking for really easily now! Additionally, musicians can now live stream their performances and allow fans around the world to see their shows. 

Open Question:

If composers are able to easily access new find instrument samples online, how will this affect actual instruments? Will they go extinct in the near future?

It is a fun way to bring video games to a more realistic aspect. But research shows that VR effects children in a different way than adults. It shows that adults with a VR headset on, and then asked to move their hips in a circle, are completely capable to do so. But children, when faced with the same circumstance can't. What does this mean for children in the future, when VR is a part of society?
