I think this is interesting.
Previous generations had video capability, but were relegated to large, unwieldy, expensive devices with limited video quality and limited storage. Video was considered novel, but was also relatively inconvenient. Which is probably why I can only recall seeing old Hi8 tapes of my sister and I toddling around, and none of my parents or relatives outside the context of a child's/grandchild's/cousin's birthday party.
Now, it's met with a sigh and disinterest if your video stream isn't at least 40 megabits per second from the device that fits in your pocket. More's the pity if the video stream won't play on your iPhone, much less your desktop computer. I'm curious as to why everyone isn't using this, not just the active minority of Youtube vloggers, political activists, and people filming their pets.
