Blog Assignment #8 Final Course Reflection

          Overall, my thinking towards science and the humanities has changed drastically. I found that both coincide well depending on the type of person you are. They both touch on different aspects of life and because of that some people might lean towards one or the other a little more. As far as science and technology I still have a deep passion for them because I do see them differently. I admire learning the fact that there are scientists who created many pathways for future scientist but also broke barriers in their time. For example, learning about the first black Chemist, Percy Julian, was major to me because he actually created the cure to arthritis and survived through a racially discriminative period in time. The technology and theories that I have stumbled upon in my LIB200 class has left me in awe because there are many innovations I never thought existed or even had the imaginative capacity to think about. I believe that I am more optimistic about science and technology now because I have been exposed to more than what I knew outside of class. I like technology more now because learning about robots and artificial intelligence is new to me but it also makes me wonder how many other forms of technology is out there. I have always found science to be very interesting but I really found Albert Einstein more engaging this time around. The book Einstein's Dreams written by Alan Lightmsn was a really good read because looking through Einsteins thoughts made me wonder about the different ways in which life functions. Although, it was much more interesting to read how it would be if it functioned through his thoughts. This is my course reflection of my LIB200 class this semester.
