To visit a friend no longer requires a long day's journey. It also enables people to live farther away from their place of work, often opening up our employment opportunities. However, the creation of the car also created an expanded labor pool in certain areas. Thus, modern life is constructed in such a way that traveling long distances are required to get to work or to get basic goods. Some neighborhoods are designed so walking even to the corner store is impossible. This has generated a poorer state of physical health amongst the populace. People walk less. They are dependent on technology, simply to move -- even to drive to the gym.

As the result of the creation of the automobile, people have fewer face-to-face social connections. They do not know our neighbors and often talk to loved ones over the phone, on a long commute. The automobile has created less of a need for personal relationships amongst strangers, as a car creates a barrier, a distance between the driver and the world, unlike walking or public transport. For people with long commutes, they may...
Compare this with a city like New York, a major city which has a large population of public transport users. One of the exciting aspects of many cities is simply the ability to come into contact with many strangers, very rapidly -- although the birth of the modern metropolis, its diversity of goods and cultures, would not have been made possible without the ability to transport goods and people quickly through mechanized means.

Other technologies that have resulted from the automobile include the gas pump (of course), the drive through (faster food), travel DVD players (constant exposure to media), to-go Styrofoam cups, protective car seats for children, roadside motels, diners, and Nascar. All of these diverse innovations in our modern culture, from the ridiculous to the sublime underline the impact of the automobile upon what we consider pleasure, how many strangers we see in a day, our ability to see other places, as well as the mechanics of the device.
His paintings were and are provocative because, instead of using personal confessions (like Dali), he uses irony and wit and intelligence to make his point hear. "The Treason of Images" is controversial in the sense that it makes the viewer question art and language and the meaning that we apply to objects. Magritte questions the assumptions made by people about the world, changing the scale of objects and defying
The new woman is scary for many, especially for men. Not only because she personifies a radical change, but because they no longer have the power upon her. Being independent, wise and strong she becomes an adversary, an opponent and therefore a challenge. And it's not only the male pride at stake, but also the acknowledgement that society was really changing. A relevant example for our discussion is the literary character
DYNAMICS BETWEEN ART & TECHNOLOGY Art & Technology From the earliest moments of human history until the present and certainly into the future, the relationship between art and technology will be a dynamic one. Technology has directly impacted art forms such as architecture, photography, sculpture, and painting. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are much older art forms than photography, whose roots come from the latter portion of the 19th century. Nonetheless, each

Post-modern art and theory Artists in the post-modern era realized that they dealt with a lot of pressure coming from the public and that it was important for them to employ attitudes that would reflect positively on their works.
It is much less an expression of breaking away with the past and norms and rules, like the Art Nouveau current was. This is mainly due to the fact that contemporary art has been an expression of the individual freedoms throughout the 20th century and the numerous experimentations during this period produced no limits to the artistic capacity of individuals. The art of the 1990s continues the anxiety expressed
