Raymond Kurzweil and Mark J. Stock

Although my generation takes computers and technology for granted because we have always had it to our reach, researching on these two men actually made me appreciate and value more the inventions they came up with. Raymond Kurzweil is an American inventor, futurist and creator. He was the one who invented the flatbed scanner which is the one we use today to scan documents and import them to the computer. He also came up with the speech to text for people that were blind and were not able to read. This even helped musicians such as Stevie Wonder. Kurzweil's inventions also include the music synthesizer and the text to speech synthesizer. His inventions have definitely helped many people in need and have also contributed to the future of all technology.
Mark J. Stock is more of an artist with coding and visual images. He has created beautiful digital art work and has been active in shows and exhibitions since 2000. Stock's works consists on various images that look like DNA but they definitely stand out and can be appreciated most by those who know how difficult coding is. His career has just started and I think he is off on a great start.
