-your pretty eyes with a much deserved rest, let's have a quick recap!

 The geometric detail that we now have is not **real**. Perfect triangle do not exist in the real world.
 Our next challenge in this journey is to turn these mathmatical representations into something
 concrete and significant. We're gonna take these primitives and turn them into **pixels** through
 a fancy process called **rasterization**.
