Tom Gunning response

This read was pretty entertaining, and it really got me thinking abuts the future. It makes me wonder if in our future will mankind invent a new medium that will shock and astonish viewers as intensely as those in 1895 when they saw the first movie projection. I wonder if mankind is even capable of that kind of reaction anymore, or is there's just that can schtick us like that cause either we've seen it all, or we're simply too aware of reality? I imagine what could possibly do this is virtual reality, which is becoming more and more prominent with artist and game designers pushing that medium further. Either way, I think we need these kind reactions now a days, we need a new medium to further explore what humans can make and express.
