TECHNOLOGY
1950's
Analog video technology was first developed for mechanical television systems, which were quickly replaced by cathode-ray tube (CRT) television systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. The video was originally exclusively a live technology. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing one of the first practical video tape recorders (VTR). In 1951, the first VTR captured live images from television cameras by writing the camera's electrical signal onto a magnetic videotape.
Digital video is capable of higher quality and, eventually, much lower cost than earlier analog technology. After the invention of the DVD in 1997, and later the Blu-ray Disc in 2006, sales of videotape and recording equipment plummeted.

THE FUTURE
As AI and CGI continue to advance, the possibilities for new media entertainment are virtually limitless. Here are a few exciting prospects to watch for:
Interactive Films and VR: AI and CGI can be combined with Virtual Reality (VR) to create interactive experiences, immersing viewers in fully-realized, responsive worlds. This could lead to the rise of interactive films, where the audience has the power to influence the story's outcome.
Personalized Content: AI-driven algorithms can analyze user preferences to create tailor-made content, delivering personalized experiences that cater to each viewer's unique tastes and interests.
Real-Time Content Generation: AI and CGI can be harnessed to generate content in real-time, providing creators with instant feedback and the ability to make adjustments on the fly.
