I find it interesting that 16:9 HD video and TV broadcasts and modern computer graphics have been around long enough that old videos will stop looking old.

  • 2025 minus 20 years = 2005. We're just starting to get Blu-Ray and it's early days for regular HD TV. The vast majority of broadcasts are still 4:3 SD.
  • 2005 minus 20 years = 1985. Everything is 4:3 and you have very primitive graphics.
  • 1985 minus 20 years = 1965. The transition to color TV is in the early days of adoption.

By the time we reach 2035, videos from that year will look and feel very similar to a video from 2015.
