"Did anyone else record audio from TV as there were no such things as
DVDs or videos. Anyone else take photos from the TV? "

Guilty on All Counts! LOL I recently with a twinge of sadness threw out 100's of cassette tapes and many were the Audio Only of TV Shows-
I think I still have at least one TV audio cassette because so far I have not found a video for it
( it was a rather strange UK short story starring Tim Brooke-Taylor)

This is something I find very interesting - the digital revolution has opened the doors to great empowerment - more people can now create more. However, it has destroyed the old business model and at the moment large business does not seem to now how to impose a new business model.

Anyone else take photos from the TV? My students turn on their smart phones and the whole world seems to be just waiting to fill their seemingly shorter attention spans.
