Vital to this “point and shoot” capability was a new film—one that would develop while exposed to light and so eliminate the tear-away covers of previous Polaroid films. Also vital were sophisticated electronics to control all single lens reflex (SLR) camera functions, including flashbulb...
As much as we might sometimes want to fast-forward life's more boring moments, that technology currently only exists in the form of a surprisingly tragic Adam Sandler movie.Not so with video.Nowadays, the majority of video players — whether it's YouTube, Netflix, or a random training video or lecture — come with the option to watch the action at different speeds, typically allowing anything from "normal" up to "2X" or beyond.But how many people actually use this playback feature?
