Yes, in the before times, *Mash* was a show about army doctors and *Up* was something that went with 7. TV had a great influence on people and computers were just a hobbyists dreamland. No one had access to high tech frame accurate editing facilities except the very rich. If you had enough donkeys, you could trade a herd of them for a Videonics MX-1 mixer and do live mixing with the output from your VCR. Better yet, use the output from your cable box. Why would you do this? Because of generation loss dummy. And because you never knew what was coming next. If you did record stuff, you could layer it like a fool, but no where near as nicely as you can do in Final Cut. It was seat of your pants editing in its highest zen like attentiveness.
Good luck to our brave video commandos, trapped like Japanese infantry fighting WWII into the 50's. Goodbye and good luck Television. You infantilized us for years and now you are getting your comeuppance. Long live social media and stupid free zones. Long live 1920x1080. Long live 24p. Long Live Torrents. For your health.
Should I upload more of this junk? Is it important for future generations?
