Rob Legato was visual effects coordinator for the 1987-92 seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In an interview, said he preferred to use photo thumbnails spacecraft Company and other outer space special effects compared with computer generated imagery.

This is because existing models, while all the computer effects have to be thought. This means that when the use of physical models, there is the possibility of accidentally cool lighting effect, one that was totally unexpected and unplanned. There is no possibility that the accident magic of light with CGI, because all the images must be created and designed from scratch. Did you know … scheduled and planned.

The same applies to research offline vs. online research.

When I was teaching, most of my students did all their research online. That's probably one reason why Google is not just a company billions of dollars, but also a verb. Research is mundane and boring for a lot of people, whether for school essays, genealogy, business presentations, or writing in general, so it only wants to finish once. But in doing so, not open to chance.

I have no quarrel with Google, I often use myself. Using specific search terms necessarily give you accurate results, but these results are probably very accurate. And this narrow focus serves to fit you with virtual blindfolded to other possibilities. No effect of adjacency with Google or other search engine. There are happy accidents.

The "adjacency effect term is used for other disciplines, but let's think of it as a side effect – not a benefit – research physical offline. There are always other items before and after the one you're reading in the free (you remember … the volume of several books either with World Book or Britannica embossed on the cover). Always titles of articles and other references about which you find in the index of publications regular (green book series bound to the newspaper from the list of journal articles by subject, title, publication, and year).

It happens even when using the card catalog to find a particular book. If you are going to batteries and do it yourself, you will see many other books on the subject close. You'll find an embarrassment of riches, and will be brought to look at those as well.

It happened to me once when I was looking at newspapers old microfilm. It was investigating a fictional story set in the 1920s, and was checking newspaper ads within society to see they talking about and how they are written. But he managed to go through the classified ads and found some fascinating nuggets in the story ended.

For example, no ads of used cars, but you can find all the horses, second hand as you wanted. Do not try to rent an apartment if you were Irish, but you can find a lot of work if a "clean color. It was a crystal clear snapshot of one aspect of American society. And I was not even seeking.

CGI (Computer generated imagery) can be beautiful, artistic, creative and many other positive adjectives. CGR (research team generated) can be informative, accurate, useful, positive and many other adjectives. What is not accidental. And that goes for Google, too.
