To me, art is a part of me. I would feel incomplete if art did not exist. I wouldn't be able to write, draw, play music or think artistic thoughts. In fact, we would all be limited to this logiccal state of thinking and expressing ourselves. Without creativity it seems, we would just be robots.
When I think of art, I think of EVERYTHING. Art makes my heart race and my mind travel to places unimaginable. I think of the many artists and great thinkers of the past, those who observed nature and sketched pictures in notebooks. Those who were curious about the world around them. People who didn't need extremely advanced technology to do the thinking for them. I guess, in some ways, the engineer if the technology is resonsible, but if the person was intelligent enough to create the machine, you'd think the person would be clever enough to figure a few things out for theselves.
Of course though, we do need rely somewhat heavily on technology for scientific discovery. For example, space travel. God, wouldn't it be absolutely amazing to go to space. I find simply looking up at a starry night incedible, but actually seeing the moon up close, stars, planets...It just let's my imagination run wild.
The point I'm making here is that technologie is brilliant in some instances, but we cannot rely souly on machines to do the work and discoveries for us. Artists, scientists and great thinkers of the past built the foundations that we are currently building upon ourselves. Mankind without a doubt will strive to exceed its boundaries in regards to science, art and religion and expand it's knowledge by going to all kinds of lengths. I just hope the know how far to go though. I mean, I'm all for discovery, but I don't want it all to end in tears.
