Anything is difficult until you know how to do it. I'm sure it was difficult to make a color TV back when all we had was black and white TVs. I'm sure it was difficult to make LCDs when all we had were Cathode Ray Tubes. I'm sure it was difficult to trasmitt voice through the airwaves (radio) before someone figured that out too.
