Proposed: That we are far enough into the 21st century now that “turn of the century“ should default to meaning 2000, not 1900.

- nebula8804 5y agoHere is some HD footage of NYC in 1993...close enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT4lDU-QLUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT4lDU-QLUY This was way before HD was a common tech (this was during VHS's height right?). This was a demonstration tape of JVC's commercial HD cameras played back on D-VHS which never really took off (Digital HD video on VHS) Some interesting things of note: Clear images of the Twin Towers The guy wearing an SS t-shirt trying to block the camera at 1:42 Did people have differing dental standards back then? Seems like something has changed in the culture(3:58) Camel advertisement at 4:12 And finally....Ponytail guy making a quick peek at 0:58 :)
