1.) Do you believe that society today is a harsher critic on modern animators than the original animators 80 years ago because of the expectation for undetectable special effects and human credibility in abstract cartoons even our youngest generation? I.e. Steamboat Willy is seen as an art form while A Scanner Darkly received harsh reviews?
2.) Manovich states "cinema becomes a particular branch of painting, a painting in time" Is the ability to manipulate cinema images, such as in Forrest Gump wherein Kennedy's lips are readjusted to make him look as if he said something different that he actually did, rob the past of authenticity and uniqueness?
3.) Was the progression of technology inevitably leading to the formation of metaverses accessible by anyone with the intent to create or find one? And if so, is privacy being violated by those intending to create a replica of the real world, whether or not it is available to the masses?

question 3- I do feel it is inevitable that there will be a metaverse, due to the incredible advances every single day in technology, how parents today can track their children through their cell phones online, how google earth lets us see places when we're not actually there. This advance is backed by the military and the government, which leads to the issue of privacy. I do NOT believe that people will stand for it. They talk about introducing google Earth into second life, which is a step way too far into a "matrix"-like world where one does not have to ever leave home to be a part in society.
