The Big ?'s

     I love John Hodgman in wired and on the daily show http://www.thedailyshow.com/! the idea of a news based comedy is not new, but I believe it is genious. considering the average attention spane is tremindously low these days what better way to get people to pay attention to world issues than to make jokes about it.
     The topic of this particular artical is Big questions. he discusses weather or not he believes they have all already been answered and uses the scientist and kings of the Greek/Roman days to illustrate his point which is simply that he hopes there are still questions out there.becuase we will all get fat lazey and bored if there isn't. I have to say I agree. I once new a lady who was 50ish years old. she was recently inrolled in nursing school. She already had numberouse degrees/ certificates. so I asked her why she would subject herself to nursing school at such an advanced age. she replied if you quite learning you might as well die.
     As an Art student I have big questions everyday. while working on projects in Metalsmithing I have to research what thing's look like, why they exist, and/or, how they are used. For the most part I spend a life time on google images http://www.google.com/imghp. Its an easy way to find printable  imagery fast. as for the rest of the information I need I am luckey to be able to use web sources becuase no one really checks them for projects most of the time. so I just google the topic ans see what pops up.
