What's mildly amusing you today? - Page 51

Here's an article about the alignment of planets over the next few days.
But that's not what tickled me. It's the signs-of-the-times inside the video.

Remember when students were taught that the eye is like a camera,
with a lens in front and the film in the back part records the picture ?
Kodak is in bankruptcy and film is no longer relevant.

In this video, the eye is "... like a digital camera ..."

Cold and spellbinding: An alignment of planets in the sunset sky

Quote:

A special night to look is Saturday, Feb. 25th, when the crescent Moon
moves in to form a slender heavenly triangle with Venus, Jupiter and the Moon as vertices (sky map).
One night later, on Sunday, Feb. 26th, it happens again (sky map).

This arrangement will be visible all around the world, from city and countryside alike.
The Moon, Venus and Jupiter are the brightest objects in the night sky;
together they can shine through urban lights, fog, and even some clouds.<snip>

Quote:

"Your eye is a bit like a digital camera," explains optometrist Dr. Stuart Hiroyasu of Bishop, California.
"There's a lens in front to focus the light, and a photo-array behind the lens to capture the image.
The photo-array in your eye is called the retina.
It's made of rods and cones, the organic equivalent of electronic pixels."

I do like how the eye is like a camera, digital or otherwise, as though the eye came after the camera.
