Types of thinking
One of the discussions we have had was about how relative our thinking is to our emotions, as well as the type of thinking that takes place. This I have thought to be very interesting as it helps contrive self improvement. If it is emotions that can influence the way we think, would it be possible to change it so we could alternate our thinking habit towards a more productive way? This article would suggest that our emotions are what forms our thinking and that if we want to use this we need to acknowledge it and understand why. To alter these emotional responses, it is suggested to try creating habits that rebel against these emotions and allow to see an alternative way of responding. I would like to benefit from this by changing my emotional response when I try to study. I understand that my negative emotional response is from knowing that I don't feel I am being productive enough when trying to work. I think that if I were to keep a good momentum and direct my work towards something I have interest or experience in, I could produce work that feels voluntary rather than forced.
Fractals
Fractals would seem to have an impossible limit in complexity. They also could be used in most parts of technology and would be something I should consider using in the future endeavors. I see fractals as a visually appealing design, but consider it first as a way of being used for efficiency and strength. It is common to be seen in building and city patterns. I think this is because of its complexity in the pattern, it gets smaller but compacted the further it spreads out. Allowing for more support from multiple paths. Fractals have been seen within nature and I believe it to be a design feature that has advanced the technology world just like the hexagon. I found this website that included natural fractal structures.
