I always find it interesting when a breakthrough for one reason, say the need for improved computer graphics for movies, have great impacts on other, non related fields. It reminds me of how things discovered or invented for use on NASA space missions have become part of daily lives, like Dippin' Dots. It's things like these that show that the whole idea behind the BXA major has merit.
