Previously, advertising was much less aggressive and creative. I miss it.

@rommyghaly I don't think this was an ad, was it? Although I was looking at some magazine ads from around 1917, and I did notice how they told all about their product in several paragraphs. I don't think people nowadays would even start to read something that long. Now, just a jingle will do.

@jbranstetter04 Computers? Do you mean giant calculators?

[jbranstetter04]

Wow! It's amazing what modern technology can produce! Does the camera digitally store the picture image so that you can put it on your computer? And it looks like it could be dangerous to take a real closeup shot of someone because the picture coming out might poke them in the eye.

Back in the 70s, ads were 11 minutes long.

@Laclaustra It's so expensive because they stopped making the film back in 2008; I'm sure that the film was less expensive back in the 70's.

There are a lot of rich people on the video, @23.00 USD per 10 pictures and taking shitty images of books (lol)
