How Computer Graphics changed

Computer graphics started in the early 1970's. When computer graphics started, it was simple roumd and sharp shapes, like squares and circles made into cubes and spheres. The graphics were simple unrealistic, and there was very limited variety of colour used to show value. However considering it was the first graphics, it was pretty amazing for back then, on how technology was moving so fast, we alredy started to create virtuel worlds.

One of the popular old style grpahics, was in the 80's known as,"Tron". Tron was was a complete virtual world and majority of all of it was computer graphics. here is one of the most popular and memorable scenes.

Here is the new tron movie coming out

As you know, looking at these old style graphics, you realize how much  it has changed in just under 30 years. Looking at todays computer animations, which are so realistic and detailed, it is said to just take over human actors all together. just look at this trailer of a new movie coming out this year, so realistic. :)



Looking at this in the perspective of a person in the 80's their mind would be completly blown away. This proves that technology is speeding up so quikly now, and probably in 10 more years or so, I wouldn't be suprised if human actors were replaced completly by graphics.

Here are some samples of computer graphics how they chnaged over the years:
