Deviant Art is a great website and resource for digital art. There are many gifted artist there that have the digital artist's equivalent of an open source community. They share their work and post tutorials. There are many people there that are willing to work for close to nothing just to help a good cause and to get more for their portfolio. Give it a look - Deviant Art
Ok... I'm from the San Francisco Bay area where there are FAR too many people crammed into one location. Unfortunately that location happens to be on the freeway around 8 when I'm trying to get to work. So I truly get to deal my fair share of idiot drivers.
I believe that educating drivers is step 1, but what if the Wright brothers said, "I'm not making this flying machine it's just going to fail and cause deaths." Would we still be using boats to get to our next business trip? Whether it was in 1911 when Orville tested his crude autopilot or when Honeywell went on to utilize the airplane auto pilot to aid in bombings, it still got made and is a critical piece in modern aviation.
Sure, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Does that mean that we shouldn't make space shuttles because someone can put in a gear backwards? Of course it doesn't. It means that we put our heads together and create a new paradigm in transportation...
So should we have never come down from the tree's? Should we have never left the ocean to begin with? Do we like our digital watches?
Okay... I'm done... I'm gonna hop off of my soap box now.
