Abstract The Innovation Ladder presents the extended study of innovation from the start or the scratch to the implementation of new recent technologies, processes, services/products and executive arrangements. From the early stages of the disk machine to the translucent cells and current CGI animation, technology has been making revolutionary changes in the animation industry. Innovation has become a major concern of the company that is tougher than it sounds, particularly if the objective is to…

progressively advancing for tremendous changes in the healthcare fields. These changes will not only save lives, but will give patients quicker, cheaper, and more precise care in many aspects. A new cutting edge technology available today in medicine is 3D printers with computer aided drafting software to create designs that can actually mold medical devices and parts for patient care. Even though 3D printing was invented in the 1980s, new software and technology had emerged from this mechanism…

It offers rapid prototyping and can create finished parts on the go with great precision. The complexity with which it prints these parts is almost impossible to replicate using traditional methods. 3D printer printed jet fuel nozzles in one piece and they are 33% lighter and stronger than the cast version. The design took 6 weeks instead of usual 6 months. 3D printed parts are lighter compared to the parts that were made of solid materials. The ability…

Plastics (Phenolic resins, Epoxy resins, Polyesters and Polyurethanes) are materials which make up the objects which we use in our everyday lives such as phones, cars, cooking utensils, computers and shoes, (http://www.slideshare.net). Plastics are a group of material which can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Plastics are considered as polymers a substance which has a molecular structure with a large number of units bonded together, (http://www.chemheritage.org). Most plastics are…

Have you ever wondered where you will end up in the future? Where you want to be, who you want to be, or what you want to do? When I grow up, I want to work at Pixar making the scenes and characters that you see in the animated movies. It’s a long road to get there, but it’s one that I’m willing to take. To create the movies you see in the theaters, Pixar uses Blender (not the one on the kitchen counter), Gimp, and many physical art forms too. Blender is where you create the models, animate…

learned new things with Tinkercad. I learned how to make designs with different shapes and learned what 3D printing was actually like. It was difficult at first but then I got the hang of it and I started to love it. I created an earbud holder that was a mouse that actually worked out pretty well. It took a lot of time and processing to create it and print it. It also took a lot of creativity to make it unique and interesting. There are some different things that I had in mind before making a…

Printmaking is an art form that involves the creation of a master piece of artwork from which multiple images are made. These prints are considered original works of art even though they can exist in multiples. This art is one of the oldest forms of art in the world. Historically, printmaking was used to spread religious ideas or images. The process originated in China at around 105 A.D. but it did not gain more use in Europe until around the mid-15th century. Printmaking today is practiced as…

Is it something that can be touched, or tasted, or felt? According to The Matrix, these are only electrical signals interpreted by the brain. The Allegory of the Cave of Plato come to mind here (Chaffee, 2010, p.27). In the story, men are chained in a dark cave since childhood and are looking at a blank wall. There is a fire…

The Matrix, on the other hand, is more than just a thought experiment. It is a narrative that is judged aesthetically, and as such its success requires that its creators produce something that will captivate and engage an audience. Carroll has asserted that, narratives, far from being complete, have gaps which need to be filled by the audience. That is, creators of narratives do not spell-out every detail of the narrative, instead, narratives rely on the elicitation of moral emotions from an…

within in him... He had begun to suspect that that his worthy father and his other teachers, the wise Brahmins, had already passed on to him the bulk and best of their knowledge" (Hesse 5). Similarly, Neo, the main character in the Wachowskis ' The Matrix, feels a similar discontentment with his world, even though he is incredibly intelligent. Siddhartha is a successful scholar and Thomas Anderson is a successful computer programmer, both men have vast amounts of knowledge about the world but…
