Computer graphics has changed the way we experience media today. It is the difference between Steamboat Willie and Buzz Lightyear, between ping pong and PONG. University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts professor Tom Sito will trace the origins
of computer animation - how the development of Sketchpad by MIT graduate student <a href="http://techland.time.com/2013/04/12/a-talk-with-computer-graphics-pioneer-ivan-sutherland/" style="color: rgb(14, 137, 179); text-decoration: underline; ">Ivan Sutherland</a> paved
the way for the use of computer animation in military research and academia, and made possible such movies as Toy Story and Avatar. The story of computer graphics is the story of a unique group of individuals - math nerds, avant-garde artists, cold warriors,
hippies, video gamers - disparate types united by a common vision.</p>
