Johnathan Harris
When I fist decided to come to KU, it was because I couldn’t decide between doing design or meteorology; two entirely different things, which is probably why only like eight schools in the country offer a good program in both. This made relating to Johnathan Harris easy. In short, I think Mr. Harris is a pretty interesting guy. His field of interest is so broad and illogical, but yet he seems to make everything work together, and I like it. Here, he describes his biggest hurdle between combining his art with computer science. He explains how compared to the free creativity of art, computer science is so overwhelming since it’s restricted by the code they use. Whilst art is used as a social piece meant for people to interact with, when Harris did programming he felt so secluded from other people. It was from this he realized how all of this overwhelming technology is invading our lives more and more and people are becoming dependent upon it, as outlined from his online dating project. Agree? Yes. And it is scary. Why would I want to date someone via the internet? As much as I love technology, it scares me to think that going forward I’ll have to rely so heavily on it.
