Over the years, Apple has included "easter eggs" within their software. What is an "easter egg"?
A hidden message/joke in any form of media.
Search for easter eggs in Photoshop and Illustrator. List a few in this post ... and try to find them in the applications.
If you click 'About Photoshop' and speed up the scrolling of the text, and click the version number after the text is done scrolling, a slide show of amusing text shows up. In Illustrator CS5, you can click 'Select' after making a new document while holding 'L'. Once 'Show' is clicked on the new menu, a variety of options such as eyes are available.
Where do you think computers will take us in the next 10 years? In the next 10 years, computers will be able to remove a great deal of hassle from our shoulders. It may soon be that nearly everything is controlled by computers. However, it must also be remembered that they can be misused to new heights in the next decade.
