digital images and manipulate numeral content.
Also, computer graphics share many common
techniques and applications with the field of
visualization. Both two-dimensional and three-
dimensional graphic presentations refer often to
geometry, but also to the ways of representing,
processing, manipulating, and projecting data in
a static or animated way. Many educators oriented
toward both visual and technological literacy
integrate the imaging techniques, such as 3D,
time-based, interactive, and other graphics includ-
ing those with emphasis on computer animation,
web design, video graphics, virtual techniques,
robotics, games, web-based, data and knowledge
visualization, with general curriculum to match
the changing expectations of professionals and stu-
dents. For example, a research-based organization
Information Resources Management Association
(IRMA) has collected vast materials concerning
the ways to locate, comprehend, evaluate, and
organize information using digital technology
(Association, I. R., 2013). The University of Texas
in Dallas launched out instruction through gaming
and interplay of art, music, and narrative with the
new media, and opened the Master of Arts and
PhD programs as separate from the art department
or the computer science department. Students
in a section Art and Technology are required to
learn programming; they develop projects aimed
at interaction based environment such as gaming.
There is a saying “If it's not on the Internet, it
does not exist”. While this statement might seem
accurate, more and more data gets lost or forgotten
because it isn't of interest anymore, isn't novel, is
expired, or there was a server error. While most
of it is backed up and stored, some info gets lost.
This may be one of the reasons for citing the

In spite of all activities aimed at securing our
achievements some of us may feel uncertain and
anxious because of natural cataclysms and ma-
levolent actions. Figure 1 “Timetable” tells about
walking in the City with a regained confidence:
Long day of errands in the City,
Memories seen against the light,
Times and places in order again.
