You'd need a research grant to afford most science-worthy tools, though, and an advanced degree to use them. The favor's since been returned: 3D graphics have revolutionized scientific visualization. ![]() ![]() The needs of science sparked the development of the electronic computer, which led to the PC and today's multimedia-driven world.
