I have really settled into Python. In the last week, I was able to clock off all my labs at a rate that surprised me. I am finding programming in python to be increasingly easy. The one thing that seems like it will be daunting in the future is graphics, which, although difficult, will be very interesting. I look forward to the next 6 weeks as a chance to learn more and expand my knowledge of python and programming as a whole.

This comic made laugh quite a bit on first read through. I didn't really know what to expect they would say the book would be, but I was pleasantly surprised to read the final panel. It makes me wonder how people will perceive us in the future. Because of the pace of advancement in the last 100 years, it is surprisingly hard to predict. This does raise several questions about how much longer we will continue at this rate. I saw a rather interesting (if somewhat far fetched) article in TIME about the theoretical "Singularity", the point at which people develop sentient or pass-human intelligence computers. Once (if) this happens, how will the past be perceived then, a time in which there was only one race?
