It reminds of years ago when invited to watch a slide show of someone's vacation pictures. It could go on for hours and there was never a graceful way to escape the ordeal. OTOH being offered a pile of 3x5" prints to view was much less a problem, since easy enough to peruse quickly, maybe stopping here or there to admire a few worthy shots. In today's world, video is just like the interminable slide show, and information reduced to text equivalent to the stack of prints. I definitely know which I prefer to deal with.
