Where's the Camera?






Random thought for the day:

In old 80's cartoon shows (Inspector Gadget, G.I. Joe, Ninja Turtles, etc.), the head villain could often be seen sitting in a chair and watching the hero's every move on a small monitor. Most people know that an image must first be photographed before it can be broadcast to a monitor/television screen. Therefore, it would seem that some sort of camera would be required that could follow the hero at all times and photograph his every move, subsequently broadcasting the aforementioned video footage to the monitor in the villain's secret lair.

However, I don't ever recall, not even once, seeing a camera following the hero around. Satellite imagery would never have worked for this application; the footage was always shot from the perfect angle (and sometimes in multiple angles that changed randomly on the villain's screen), and thus could never have been shot from above.

Am I obsessing? Am I?

No.....no.....I'm not obsessing; just stating the obvious, is all......

You know how things like this bug you as a child but you can't really vocalize your frustrations? Yeah...that was me. Thank you for helping me to release those frustrations now...
