I agree with this. Stereo images were amazing to folks who never saw
these amazing sights. Movies and TV had an amazing impact on society.
These days, news of war travels instantly. There was a time when the
average person did not realize that wars were occurring on the other side
of the world.

I wonder about something. I have commented on the demise of Stereo, but
is it actually? Seems to me there is more interest now than a year ago.
Any comments?
