Who can now imagine a world without moving pictures ?

Amazingly,
the oldest surviving film, just 20 frames
made in Leeds (Yorkshire) in 1888 by Louis le Prince,
and featuring his family whom he simply told to 'move for the camera',
can be seen on YouTube.

Failure to realise just how *astonishing* this is
would demonstrate a very damaging
and debilitating lack of imagination.
