Back in the old days when I was 10 we made videos only in our imagination.

My dad was on the Air Force Presentations Team in the early to mid 1960s and went to schools and civics organizations all over the country. He and the other team members discussed the upcoming landing of men on the moon. Of course most of the audience was highly skeptical it would ever happen.

One of the lines of his speech was something like: One day you will watch from the comfort of your couch at home as men walk on the moon, and carry small hand held color video cameras and relay that image right to your TV set.

Video cameras at the time were all several hundred pounds on huge tripods and were plugged into the wall, and only TV stations had them.
