“Sorry, I got to return this video”
“Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial”
“Do you have any quarters for a phone?”
“Bill Cosby really is America’s dad”
“Can I borrow that VHS?”
“Sorry, I can’t come. My favourite show is on”
“Do you know where a phone is?”
It’s weird how slow things really are. In 2006 you could have rented a VHS from blockbuster and gone home and upload it to YouTube.
I moved out on my own that year and only had cable Internet and a cell phone. Facebook was still edu only, myspace was still popular as hell, you could get DVDs through the mail from Netflix, movie piracy was extremely popular.
I think you’ll still need specialized equipment to hookup a VHS machine to a computer and digitize it.
Nope. RCA > S-Video, HDMI, or FireWire. Any of the three would have worked at the time. And many VCRs had either HDMI, VGA, or S-Video out.
