Throughout the article, “Computer Graphics: Effects of Origins,” Beverly Jones talks plenty about how not only the graphics but also the Electronic part has drastically changed through its form of art. In Beverly’s writing, the main point of emphasis that she uses for a thesis is when she states, “Electronic and photonic art forms have been and will continue to be influenced by their origins and practices” (Jones 21). This response explains that over time electronic art form continues to change due to the new surroundings that are encountered in the real world along with the advancement of technology that continues to occur in todays new age. Although the art form may change throughout time, it does mention that it will, “…will continue to be influenced by their origins…” meaning that it will continue to use its original form but continue to add on additional pieces of art.

Something that Jones makes a statement about is how historically over time she references how one man by the name of John O’Niell had decided to quit his original job doing other type of art work and decided to move onto a variety of graphic design. John had decided to move on and begin working with games because, “…because he believed that art was important not in itself but only as it affected people. He believed that it had to reach people in a medium they could relate to, in a language they could understand and at a price they could afford” (Jones 26). He believed that art should be used in a way that will influence and affect people rather than just use it as a means for himself and his own pleasure.

How Jones article relates back to what is occurring in the real world in the new age is how the development of technology continues to progress. From what technology used to be from the large televisions to the large computers, to all of the new flat screens that all have high definition, and even the large computers down to the small air Mac notebooks, is all an example of the progress technology has made. The historical example provided above also is a great example of how the art form of technology has advanced over time. Most of the art being used in our generation is for the use of entertainment or enjoyment for people to have. I believe that is the biggest change that the technology art form has advanced to. Dealing more and giving what the people want is what art form of technology has come to, along with who has the newest technology.
