Last night on the history channels they had 60's modern marvels and one of the items they covered was the emergence on color television and our own Steve Mcvoy was the spokesman for some of the technology displayed.

Dammittall, I'd like to have seen that...

Give it time, it'll show up on YouTube.

Found this on the History Channel Web Site http://www.history.com/media.do?id=mm_gi_television_broadband&action=clip

I don't think this is what you're talking about but it's interesting.

CSI: New York season finale was killer.

I recorded that episode of Modern Marvels and can probably digitize that particular segment if anyone's interested.

Of course my last decent VCR decided to eat tapes just as I was going to record the program! I will record it on the computer 0n 5/26.
Excellent presentation, Steve! Thanks!

60's Tech
Premiere Date: 05/16/2007
Take a groovy ride back to the freewheeling days of the 1960s and recall the technological happenings that helped shape the decade. Television went from black and white to color. Satellite broadcasting made coast-to-coast live broadcasts possible. Transistors made radios portable, computers downsized and telephones began switching from rotary to touch-tone. The 60s also brought along the Ford Mustang and other hot wheels. For fun, there was slot car racing, etch-a-sketch, the superball, and lava lamps. The decade gave us quite a technological rush, with the introduction of concert sound, psychedelic light shows and the birth of the rock festival.

Slot cars and lava lamps make a list of the defining technologies of the 1960's, but no mention of a little thing called Project Apollo? :screwy:

A fairly lite coverage of the Slow Scan camera was given.....
