Hello ComBappers:

Greetings in the name of the Lord!   This week's edition of the ComBap Update has many more videos than normal, but they are all good!   Video has become such an important part of our lives in the 21st Century.  The majority of all internet web traffic is bytes from videos (both the legal and the illegal kind).  People love sharing funny/cute/inspirational/shocking/creative videos with their friends and family.  

Motion pictures (what we call videos today) were first used in 1867 (Canada's birthday!) with a machine called a zoopraxiscope which was really just a glorified picture flip book on a wheel.   It wasn't until Edison invented the Kinetoscope (for one person to watch a motion picture) in 1889, and then the Vitascope (for theatre audiences) in 1894. Motion pictures remained a communal event until the invention of the personal movie camera in the 50's (which only very few could afford) and then the video tape cameras of the 70's (which a few more could afford) to the analog camcorders in the 90's (which many more people could afford... which included me when I bought an 8mm RCA video camera to record our kids) to, finally, the digital camcorders that are built in to almost every phone on the planet!   Today, I can grab my phone, record a video, and upload it to the internet and have people from all over the world watch it... all within minutes.
