The inscription on the Tennessee Historical Commission marker (seen above in the lower right corner of the photograph) reads:
Built in the 1830s, the Shipley Barn is one of the oldest structures in Putnam County. A uniquely preserved example of half-dovetail notched log construction, it was built by master craftsmen for Abraham Buck, a leading Upper Cumberland pioneer and prosperous farmer. Acquired from Dr. Michael Shipley, the structure sits on the Tennessee Technological University farm. Shipley's family was the last to use the barn. Today, it is used as a working facility by university agriculture students.

For the Peaceful use of Atomic Energy
A Surrealistic Walk through Tubes & Spheres with "Nuclear Power"
Atomic Age & Technological Progress
"The story of the Atomium is, above all, one of love, the love that the Belgians have for an extraordinary structure symbolising a frame of mind that wittily combines aesthetic daring with technical mastery. The appearance of the Atomium is unusual and unforgettable. It has a rare quality of lifting everyone’s spirits and firing their imagination."
Diane Hennebert
- Atoms Magnified 165 billion Times -
The balls are arranged like a school chemistry set to represent atoms in their crystal lattice,except these are 165 billion times bigger.
Faith in Progress depicted on 9 iron crystal interconnected spheres representing atoms.The diameter of each sphere is 18 metres and they are connected by tubes with escalators and lifts.
It was dreamed up by the engineer André Waterkeyn and the spheres were fitted out by the architects André & Jean Polak.
The Atomium,102 metres high,was the main pavilion and icon of the World Fair of Brussels (1958),commonly called Expo 58.
It symbolised the democratic will to maintain peace among all the nations,faith in progress,both technical and scientific and, finally,an optimistic vision of the future of a modern,new,technological world for a better life for mankind.

This is the School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Staying in the country for 2 months, of course I had to visit a futuristic building like this one!
I took one look at you, that's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still,
My feet could step and walk, my lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still.
Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands told me so well you knew
I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still.

Now,that the Inter-Net has invaded our lives, and our cell phone is an extention of our hand,the world is smaller and more connected.
Bill Gates says that the Internet is becoming the Town Square for the Global Village of tomorrow.
Everything lives on line now.Technological progress frees and then enslaves us ; it's an unruly tool for helping humans and for destroying them at the same time.Artificial Intelligence develops at the speed of light,it makes me feel that we are very close to an entirely Synthetic Human.Are we any closer to such a life of freedom and bliss?Are we eventually served or enslaved?
I find Nassim Taleb's words truly wise : "The difference between technology and slavery is that slaves are fully aware that they are not free."
The Fourth Industrial Revolution will be powered by Soft and Hard Skills.News Innovation is moving faster than ever. It will take a blend of technical prowess,creativity and emotional intelligence to navigate this new business landscape. We are in the midst of unprecedented technological change,but still we can survive if we utilise a wide range of Soft Skills,it is our only weapon ...

Alien art
Please zoom in to see all!
Science fiction
If the aliens still have social life, they should have emotions and feelings like us. Emotions and feelings are building components of our existence. Thinking, memory, feelings and emotions processes could be differently functioning at aliens, and they might not have a lot of different feelings and emotions like us.
As I wrote before , we have more than 3K different emotions and feelings. Having more than 10K different amotions and feelings, could make us more human? It is difficult to answer.
We could not expect to get along with aliens if they visit us with their flying saucers ( flying objects, UFO ). We might be too primitive or too different because of our limited senses ranges and capabilities, and also because of the high number of emotions and feelings. The difference between aliens and us might be more than the difference between frogs and us.
If they existed couple billions of years before us, of course the biological and technological differences would be very big.
This is the Learning Hub building, part of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. Perhaps more commonly, it's known as "The Hive".
Photo taken in the Immersive room (1000 m² screens) during the 360º projection of Gustav Klimt's most compelling works.
Using technological marvels and gigantic projections, visitors to this expo were completely immersed in the world of Gustav Klimt.
More than 200 works by Gustav Klimt were projected in an animated, creative and surprising way all around you.
Gustav Klimt (14 July 1862 – 6 February 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.

The former Broad Street Church of Christ is located on West Broad Street in Cookeville, Tennessee. Jeremiah (Jere) Whitson donated the property where the buildign was constructed on October 17, 1907. Joe F. Scott and William M. Smoot, builders of the Putnam County Courthouse, completed the new church building in 1908. The construction material is brick and stone, with the wire-cut brick coming from Scott's brickyard in Cookeville. However, the Broad Street Church of Christ was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places (and added on February 1, 2002) under Criterion A for its significant contribution in bringing a higher educational institution to Cookeville. So, in the spring of 1909, with their church completed, the Church of Christ congregation laid the groundwork for the planning of a new college. Fundraising and lobbying efforts, as well as the obtaining of land for the college, all came from the hard work and dedication of the members of the Broad Street Church of Christ. These efforts to establish a college in Cookeville were rewarded when a charter was secured from the state on November 18, 1909 that created the University of Dixie or Dixie College as it came to be known. Over the next 5 to 6 years, Dixie College (and the associated Bible College) experienced financial difficulties and temporarily ceased operation. At this time, Mr. Jere Whitson (the President of Dixie College at this time) joined forces with the State Superintendent of Education, S.H. Thompson to draft a bill for a state normal school in Cookeville. Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was created on March 27, 1915. Governor Thomas C. Rye signed the bill with Jere Whitson at his side. Mr. Whitson even bought the fountain pen for the momentous occasion. Tennessee Polytechnic Institute encompassed all of the original twelve acres donated by Jere Whitson for the University of Dixie and at last was successful. (Tennessee Polytechnic Institute was elevated to university status in 1965, when its name changed to Tennessee Technological University.)

Story: The Avarice is a warship of considerable means. The technological assets that are part of the Avarice are a proud display of CIRCorp's talent for development and acquisition. When not hired, the Avarice is used as a powerful demonstration of CIRCorp effectiveness to potential customers.
One example of acquired tech is the Promolagin Sustainable Propagatable Energy Engine that is located on the bottom of the bow. It is used for lift and has thrust that is shockingly effective for its size.
Due to a technological advances photography nowadays cannot be considered the unconditional documentation tool and photographer isn‘t anymore a necessity for it to happen. Thanks to such tools like satellites, drones, street view, etc., it‘s not even necessary to get on location to capture it. As a consequence, every landscape photograph can be considered just a senseless digital record made by someone.
Despite being a visual mark, artificial lightning in landscape photography becomes a sensual link between the viewer and photographer.

The Wishing Tree
2019
“We hope, despite the technological complexity, that the piece invokes a simple and beautiful feeling: the wonder of nature and humans working in harmony, the possibilities we can achieve together when we share knowledge and wisdom, and the awe of life itself.” Symmetry Labs
The Wishing Tree, created by the San Francisco-based collective Symmetry Labs, is a unique site-specific installation that pushes the boundaries of art and technology. Here, the highly sophisticated man/computer-made design intricately meshes with the lushified natural environment and reflects the ‘urban oasis’ curatorial theme within Rosemary Square. By day The Wishing Tree offers shade and resembles an ancient 26-foot-tall banyan, and by night, the monumental light sculpture reveals a spectacular visual experience. A total of 100,000 individually programmable, full-color-spectrum LEDs create the light embedded in 10,000 leaves. The lighting algorithm is inspired by the fluid behavior of South Florida’s inherent weather systems. Community of all ages and backgrounds will be captivated by the myriad of swirling and undulating patterns formed by the refined palettes. All are invited to gather around The Wishing Tree rooted in the very heart of Downtown West Palm Beach.

Somewhere between technological singularity and ecological singularity
francois-quevillon.com/w/?p=5242
Quelque part entre la singularité technologique et la singularité écologique
"In a technological age, to be sure, any proposal to bracket the world of artifacts will inevitably sound suspect, as a nostalgic romanticism longing for a return to a simpler world that never was—and not without reason. There is something disingenuous about Thoreau's retreat to Walden Pond, a condescending self-righteousness which becomes painful when Thoreau propounds his alternative life-style as a model to the Irish laborer John Field, condemned by his lot to drudgery. Count Tolstoy's self-conscious imitation of his muzhiki tends to ring false as the false low ceiling of hand-hewn beams which he had installed in one of the chambers of his palace to create the illusion of a peasant izba. It is not simply that few of us would wish to entrust our bodies to the medical treatment of, say, mid-seventeenth-century medicine or our safety to an army equipped with muzzle-loaders—though no one who ever had to submit to on-the-spot medical treatment or watch Soviet tanks rolling into his country could possibly wish either. High technology is indeed irrevocably a part of our way of life. We could surrender it only at a high cost not simply in luxuries, but in genuinely human values like health and freedom."
—Erazim Kohák, The Embers and The Stars

My little nephew struggling with the usage of our modern day cell phones.
Nikon D90, even though once undoubtedly a world class technological pioneer, cannot be included anymore among DSLRS technology front line ... Just by casting a glance at contemporary DSLRs features one may easily get overwhelmed by the striking differences ...
Many a time I considered exchanging it with a newer, more advanced model ... Yet with every photo I take using it, I postpone our technological "divorce" ... It's that Nikon D90 is so unbelievably good at what it has been designed to do, such an amazing, trustworthy, resilient, productive piece of photo equipment hardware ...
I devote the above seen capture, taken at Paranesti village of Drama's prefecture, North Greece to all Nikon D90 owners and technological lovers ... The bridge lies over Nestos river, whose flow can barely be seen at the right lower corner of the synthesis ...

Located on the campus of Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee, Henderson Hall was nominated for the National Register of Hisrotic Places under criteria A & C for its local architectural and historical significance. Designed in 1931 by Benjamin F. Hunt of the architectural firm of R.H. Hunt and Company (with offices in Chattanooga and Dallas), the building is a fine example of Georgian Revival design. Henderson Hall housed the first engineering school of Tennessee Tech University and has been in continuous use as a classroom since it opened and is an important part of the educational facilities of the university. As one of the few pre-1935 buildings left relatively unaltered, Henderson Hall is representative of the architectural and historical
development of Tennessee Technological University. In 1982 the original wood windows were replaced with identical aluminum ones but the building has undergone few other alterations and maintains its historical & architectural integrity. When Henderson Hall was constructed in 1931 it was first called the Industrial Arts Building. Later called the Engineering Building and, then in 1960, it was renamed Henderson Hall in honor of James Manson Henderson, the first director of the university's School of Engineering. Eventually, the engineers moved to new structures, and Henderson Hall became the home of the English, History, and Political Science Departments and continues today as the home of the College of Arts & Sciences.
Henderson Hall was added to the NRHP on November 7, 1985. All the information above was acquired from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be found here:
