"The same system will allow anybody with a camcorder to distribute videos to the world -- a development that could open the floodgates to a wave of new filmmaking talent or a deluge of truly awful home movies."
- maudineormsby 17y agoSo Time magazine predicted youtube... Took me a couple minutes to realize that the article assumes that all of this would essentially happen with and through the Cable companies and that a TV-like interface would be a dominant part of it. Amazing how much the standards have changed. Amazing that YouTube is acceptable for most people, when 15 years ago they were predicting HD style content.
- anigbrowl 17y agoIn fairness, HD is gradually enroaching on online video; to some extent, it's been a matter of waiting for the cameras to catch up and become affordable for more than a few. I go to YouTube mainly for music videos now, whereas anything creative tends to appear on Vimeo first.
