The Egg and the Eye

var sum = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < numberSet.length; i++) {

    console.log(numberSet[i]);

    sum = sum + numberSet[i];

}

var average = sum / numberSet.length;

The Javascript code above is the basic idea behind finding an average of a set of numbers and can be found on my egg for the Egg and the Eye experiment.  I was  stumped for coming up with an idea for this project for quite a while and I had inspiration at the weirdest of times.  I was doing some reading for a computer science class about algorithms and the different types and their respective uses and it just kind of hit me.  I was going to take a snippet of code I had learned in a programming class about averages and write it on my egg.

We are all average to an extent.  Our looks are average, we act pretty average, our ideas are mostly average, this egg is average.  Nothing about us or anyone else is inherently special about you or me or this egg or anyone else.  Sure everyone has the right and the ability to think they are some special and unique little butterfly, fluttering about life in an extraordinary way; but in reality they are just as average as everyone else in this world.

Don’t get me wrong we all have the potential for greatness, but if every individual doesn’t have access to the tools and knowledge to make them great then what are they left with?  Being average is what they are left with.
