If you connect a primitive digital camera to your PC and aim it at a happy face, your computer might perceive the image as it appears on the right-hand side of the given drawing. The digitized image of the face is rough because the computer thinks in terms of ones and zeros and makes all-or-nothing approximations. This will, in some cases, enhance subtle information about light versus dark differences, hence the lack of detail in the eyes and mouth, and in other cases exaggerate such differences, as shown in the edges of what should be a smooth, gradually curving face.

The shapes of Korean kites are based on scientific principles which enable them to make good use of the wind. One particular Korean kite is the rectangular “shield kite,” which has a unique hole at its center. This hole helps the kite fly fast regardless of the wind speed by concentrating the wind on days when the wind is light, and letting it pass through when the wind is blowing hard. The center hole also allows the kite to respond quickly to the flyer’s commands. For these reasons, Korean kites such as the shield kite are good at “kite fighting.”

One summer night a man stood on a low hill overlooking a wide expanse of forest and field. By the full moon hanging low in the west he knew that it was near the hour of dawn. A light mist lay along the earth, partly veiling the lower features of the landscape, but above it the taller trees showed in well-defined masses against a clear sky. Two or three farmhouses were visible through the mist, but in none of them, naturally, was a light. Nowhere, indeed, was any sign or suggestion of life except the barking of a distant dog, which served to accentuate the solitary scene.
