zimmer4141 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I agree with you. Television amazes me, especially when it seems that they make light and sound waves travel at the same speed, but I'm sure there's an explanation. Also, how computers can store thousands of documents on one little sheet of metal and silicon.Airplanes, eh, there's sound enough physics behind those that I have explored, so they don't amaze me anymore.Oh, also, how Ashlee Simpson has a career amazes me as well.

DerekTah 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 For me its computers when first invented. I want to know who the person was who said "I got an idea. I intend to make a electronic chip and then make other chips and have wire connect to the chips. And once that is done we will be able to save information on it". I was also awed when I first saw the car crashes into another car effect in Adaptation. Though now it doesn't awe me because it been redone too much.Oh also the fact people think Christopher Columbus proved the earth round and that subliminal messages are real also awes me, but in a bad way.

tyfgine 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Pretty much anything amazes me if I think about it long enough. I think the most amazing things occur in nature.For instance, how a tiny seed grows into a gigantic tree simply by soaking up nutrients and water from the soil, and absorbing light.Also, when it is pouring rain. Think about how amazing it is that all that water was just floating in the air, gathering together, and then in cetain conditions, it collects and falls back to the earth.What about the fact that we are all on a rock that is circling a star in infinite blackness.Or that ants have heads the size of a pin, but they organize themselves into extremely intricate societies working toward a common goal.Also, language is crazy if you really think about it, and words, text. The fact that you are reading something I wrote on my living room couch in San Diego, without coming into contact with me, yet by looking at some symbols being represented by points of light on a screen, you can understand exactly what I am thinking.OK, I could go on for a while, I'm done for now.
