Re: [ARSCLIST] Slides and inconvenient media (was spin it again)
My friend Tom speaks wisdom. You can add to that a reminder that those of
us who think good HDTV can look pretty cool were once satisfied with
kinescope quality black and white, and with TV audio that's embarrassing to
us today. It seems our acceptance thresholds do evolve...
TF: > each generation since the industrial revolution has a different set of
visual stimuli
That also seems be true of their audio experiences....
What scares me (older than Tom) is that if blurry video and audio becomes
main-stream, how will we preserve it with any kind of integrity?

...the youngsters seem to derive much more stimulus and deep enjoyment
from a visual experience on a blurry 2x2 screen than I or people my age
(41) or older are likely to. These kids... have a whole different set of
habits and processes for enjoying imagery. Point is, each generation
since the industrial revolution has a different set of visual stimuli and
each forms different habits and adjustment mechanisms to meld the moving
images into their version of reality.
