Kurz Weil Raymond and Mark J. Stock

 

Kurz Weil Raymond

Kurz Weil Raymon is a futurist, not the kind of futurist that read hands, but who tries to have an idea how society will be in 20 years. According Kurzweilai.net, "Kurzweil was the principal inventor of the first CCD flatbed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition." In my opinion, Kurz Weil Raymond is a very impressive individual. He has been pointed as the new Edison. He is not just an inventor, also a businessman. NSA offered him to work with them, but he denied to work for such an unethical company.

 

Mark J. Stock

According to www.markjstock.com, "Mark J. Stock is a scientist, programmer, and artist who creates still and moving images combining elements of nature, physics, chaos, computation, and algorithm." It is very impressive how Stock has found new ways to express himself. We usually think about art as paint, sculpture, music, etc... but who would thought that program coding could also be considered art.
