After viewing part 2 of the science fiction slide show I noticed many parts of the second part that were different than the first part. Because the second part of the slide show was about later science fiction it was a little more updated in the pictures and details of the slides.
Also in part two of the slideshow the topics and ideas that were talked about were more recent and updated. It talked about how science fiction stories were considered just for fun (Comics)
also the ideas of science fiction were beginning to become reality because of the increase in technology and the advances in science, science is catching up with science fiction and many of the invention stories, the impossible stories, the amazing stories and the stories of the future were actually becoming the present or the near future.
After watching part two of the science fiction slide show, I was surprised by many different things that I didn't know. Mostly, I was surprised that one of the first movies ever made, "A Trip to The Moon" (1902), could be classified as a science fiction film.
I was also surprised about how many advancements in technology and medicine were predicted by many science fiction authors.
this installment held my attention much more thoroughly then the last one. probably because there many authors and stories that i was more familiar with.
the other thing that held my attention was the difference between the writers who simply wrote for entertainments sake and those who write for literatures sake the same can be said for today, though i see a trend of taking extremely well written works of sci-fi being turned into empty Hollywood shootemups (i.e. starship troopers and war of the worlds)
I think that I enjoyed the second part of the slide show more than the first part because of the updated selection of science fiction stories and the pictures that went along with them. I liked how the slide show went into how science fiction predicts what is in the future for technology. I like how they said that science actually catches up with science fiction. I also liked how they related some of the science fiction stories to things that were actually happening during those decades. I enjoyed the slideshow and I am also looking foreward to seeing the third part!
