At the Museum of Moving Images, I learned that the 1st “motion pictures” looked kind of like toys and lanterns and that in order for a person not to see blurred images, the images need a moment of rest. That’s how we get to see clear images. In the case of camcorders, the shutter causes the moment of rest per frame. It was also interesting how the television sets looked like home appliances for women to use, even though the main goal was to get men to buy it. Some resembled washing machines while others looked like ovens.
Companies made a lot of money selling merchandises and their target audience was children. They sold lunch boxes, dolls, clothing with characters faces on it and posters.
