Press & newsreel photographers at Queen's Park ........1914
if you could somehow jump back to that day and show those gentlemen a modern mobile telephone with built-in camera and video recorder, and oh yes, split-second access to anything ever spoken or written, on a resource called "the web" which is like all the libraries of alexandria ever, all right here on this little screen!!!

daunting challenge to imagine what another century of technical advancement might bring to this scenario, e.g. would the observers even need to be there to capture a record of someone making a pronouncement?

P.S. is that really a reporter/cameraman from FOX NEWS?
 
Indeed, r937....we can't imaging what digital technology and the Internet will bring us in the future.
Let's just hope it's all pleasant and good stuff.

And yes, Fox News has been around for a hundred years or so..........since the beginnings of newsreels in movie theatres.
Of course, the FOX corporate name has been bought and sold within the entertainment industry over those many years.

And who was Lord Allenby?...you ask.
Wikipedia has the answer……hint: There's a "Lawrence of Arabia" connection.

It appears that advertising signage has been with us for a long time.
It's only altered by the technology of the day.
