Back in the '90s I saw a great documentary called "The Colors of Infinity" done by Arthur C. Clarke. It featured Benoit and the M-set quite extensively and I found the whole thing fascinating and mind-blowing. The idea that you could just keep zooming in forever and seeing such complexity was amazing! I still have a copy on VHS.

I remember when they were discussing future real-world applications of fractals one thing that came up was image enhancement and that it could be used to extrapolate or "guess" what a pixel should look like based on the rest of the image. Has this come to pass?

Also, what are some good examples of fractal geometry in use in our everyday lives technology-wise?

Edit: a word.
