Modern Technology is Amazing

1930 Screen shot of Home Video

Modern Technology is Amazing and some technology isn’t so modern as I’m coming to find out.  I just spent yesterday watching home movies from 1928 of my Boss’s Family.  My boss is 78 years old so these were taken before he was born.  The home movies were of his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  I saw many videos of Marie, his 81 year old cousin. I saw a video of her at her baptism(see picture to the left) and then others of her at 5, 6, 7 months, then I saw her learning to walk.  It was adorable. 

I wonder to myself if people were making home movies way back then how come there aren’t any home movies of me growing up?

Then last night we watched the movie P.S. I Love You.  The only thing the young widow had to hold on to was pictures, memories, and his voice on his voice mail.  I think how sad is that that they didn’t have any videos.

Last year’s goal was to take more photos. Now I think I need to start taking videos and it’s not like I need to go out and buy a special camera. My little point and shoot that my boss got me last year takes great videos and so does my phone.  Hopefully soon I will start posting video clips along with pictures.
