Does computer graphics have a practic use besides games/movies/pictures? [closed]

Question

I am learning Computer Graphics at the university and I'm trying to figure out the use of it ... and I fail.

Only games and movies stick in to my mind, I'm sure there are other uses for, let's say, graphic algorithms, openGL, 2D and 3D, 3ds Max ...

Is it useful later on ? Where do I need it ?

Thank you

Medical and scientific visualization, simulations, preservation of cultural heritage come to mind.
