We've only had decent video since about 1935, the Baird stuff was a dead end copy of Victorian mechanicals, though his film camera to nearly live TV was amazing, and also landscape mode.

I'll have to give those a go. I
severely limit my video-time. Otherwise...you know. Rabbit-hole, meet wasted time. It's far, far too easy to start watching cute or funny or hell, even informative videos and go straight to hell.
I believe I'm helped in this because I don't really do the "smartphone thing." I never developed the habit (thank Odin) because they didn't work here, at my newer home, happily; we're surrounded by mountains or high-ground on all 4 sides, so our physical home--the 4 walls--is a dead spot. When smartphones were
really taking off, at the end of the aughts through now, mine was a paperweight, used only when I left to go shopping or whatever. (As I have my office here). And as I loathe social media...meh. I spend quite enough time in front of screens, anyway.
