This is kind of a trivial musing, but I was thinking about how amazing the invention of the TV is. We take it for granted today, but to someone who lived thousands or even hundreds of years ago, it would seemed like magic. Just think about it, we are able to capture echoes of the past. I recall watching a silent video taken a century ago and it's just like having a little time machine. You can get a little glimpse of the lives of people who lived and died before many of us were even born.
