Funny question from youngster
Hello all,
I work at a University research lab, and this week I was telling a graduate E. E. student of the fact that sometime later this year will mark 50 years since the first pictures from the dark side of the moon were transmitted by a Russian probe. I was telling him of the fact that there was film and chemistry on board and that the developed pictures were transmitted by FM radio. Then he asked me : 'do you mean that pictures have ever been transmitted by non-digital techniques'? I had to tell him that for a few more weeks in the U.S., and a few more years in Canada, such 'non-digital' signals were indeed being used to transmit not only pictures, but even pictures with motion!... |
