discussion question fourth reading

1. In McCloud's reading, there's a section that mentions how when we are driving, the car becomes an extension of us. Do you agree/disagree with the author's argument? Can you think of something else in life that could also be considered "extension" of us?

2. Do you think that the authenticity of paintings really matter? The technology these days have developed so much that such things (I don't think) really matter anymore... The experience we get would be same whether we see original or the replica, pretty much (agree/disagree?)

3. "Words are the absolute abstraction." Is there a "higher form" of abstraction than words? If you think so, why so? (What I'm trying to imply is that I think there's higher form of abstraction than words, of course)...
