Parents today have it better.

[AUFred]

I watched everything my children did when they were little through a viewfinder on a VCR camcorder. Often with that thing sitting on my shoulder. It probably weighed 20 pounds. When we advanced to a hi-8 camcorder I was excited by then I always used the tripod if I could and had the little screen to watch. Still not like really watching their sports or school functions like other parents but better than the viewfinder. Now with digital the quality is better and everything is lightweight.

Still have one of those big old video cameras around here in it's own little suitcase. And a Nikon 35mm with a few telephoto lens. Have not used either in years.

We never had one of those big video cameras. But I remember my parents having a beta (sp) system to watch movies. Then the VCR.

Now I'm sitting here watching my son play on his Leap pad 2 Explorer. It has front and back cameras and takes videos. But he learns so much on it. I wish technology was this cool when I was a kid.
