11) Can new knowledge change established values or belief?

The prompt I have selected is “Can new knowledge change established values or beliefs?” And my answer is of course yes. Every year, month, day some knew knowledge appear which can affect our view on life totally. It’s also as in situation, where from one side one person see number 9, another person, from another see’s 6, if one will change his position, his knowledge will change and beliefs too. And my object shows how new devices and technological tools change the way we relate to things, beliefs and traditions.

  My object is Enigma machine, which was created and used by Nazi German during world war 2. It was really safe in using, so it was used for most important messages during the war. It was so secure, because settings of machine were changing every day and changing was based on some special key, which kept security of messages.

First time I heard about this object was while watching film “Imitation game”, which really amazed me, because it was one of the first time, where machine was much better than people, smartest in the whole world people. Like right now all this artificial intelligence appears, which can solve a lot of problems instead of people, it can even make some code, so replace junior developers.

It is not a point, in my opinion Enigma perfectly demonstrates how attitude of people has changed about machines and power of machines.

So government of UK was actively trying to understand code of enigma machine. Once they asked for help of one polish scientist Marian Rejewski, mathematician and cryptologist. His idea was not solving code by himself, but make a machine, which could translate messages.

After a lot of tries and mistakes he reached success, with help of some messages, which was already translated before, small messages, but which also helped to solve the code.

This situation has changed opinion about computers and machines. It showed that it can solve problems, which the greatest scientists from whole world couldn’t solve. Of course computer was built by human, but it was one of first time, where computers were used for upgrading knowledge’s. It change and influence regular society life, the progress which was made that days is clearly be seen by me writing this exhibition from computer or you reading it from some electronic device, it still amaze me and I think, of course enigma was used for not best aims, but it motivated people to think and solve problem and lead us to new level of life.

Dinosours are so cool. I love tham. Lika do this ROOOOR so fun.

33.How is current knowledge shaped by its historical development?

The prompt that I have chosen is "How is current knowledge shaped by its historical development?" And I think that knowledge that we had even 5 years ago was a bit looking differently. So I wanted to ddescribe how our knowledge has changed and developed and how it affect our lives. Also one of the most important question, which should be answered is do we need this development of knowledge?

I saw such picture of how different animals would look like in 2021 while watching memes. This has amazed me a lot and I discussed this with my biology teacher for a while. I realy used to be amazed that not everything that we know and think that is true can be actually false. 

My object is the pictures of how animals would look, based on their bones. In fact, they look really close to dinosaurs, because the potential drawings were based on same technique.I saw such picture of how different animals would look like in 2021 while watching memes. This has amazed me a lot and I discussed this with my biology teacher for a while. I realy used to be amazed that not everything that we know and think that is true can be actually false.  For my whole life I was sure that dinousaurs are 100% looked, like media showed us. I was syre that dinosaurs make this rooor and etc. My knowledge has changed and developed significantly. 

But do we need such development? Would our lives change a lot, if we wouldn't know about posibility that dinosaurs would look diferently. Or would we be affected if we would never hear about dinosaurs at all? Well, if we are looking on this situation from point of view about importance of being educated and importance of know;edge, I would say that such development is important. But if we are watching on such development as how it affecting daily routine than nothing would change. Life would become even more peacful without all this changes. 

Such situations changes our lives significantly. The knowledge that we have are changing everyday, historical development gives us new information. It's hard to understand new changes and belive in tham, but life without knowledge wouldn't exist, because they add some meaning in it. Our knowledge shaped by historical development 100%, and somebody can say that we don't need it, it's better in world without changing, but changing sometimes can make our lives more comfortable and add something in knowledge, which can save our lives. Even such pictire about dinosaurs and animals in future can csave our lives.
