But these shortcuts can become problematic. Acronyms are helpful in that you can save space and time by typing ‘idk’ instead of ‘I don’t know’ and ‘u’ instead of ‘you.’ The problems arise when you are in an online public forum like online college courses and you are used to typing in what many of labeled as “geek speak.” Many professors refuse to accept work that is not grammatically correct, and ‘u’ does not classify as correct grammar. It is always amazing to see how shortcuts can get our point across quicker or our work done easier, but there is always a price to pay for hurried work. Slow and steady will always win the race.

And as more and more money gets put into these companies that focus on making movies, the amazing effects and brilliant creativity will continue to flow to create life-like images on the big screen created by computer.
