Week #3 - How smartphones made the world less magic


Hey, what's up?!

Do you remember that iconic video that, supposedly, shows the BIGFOOT/Sasquatch walking into the forest like a human?


That video is known by Patterson-Gimlin film. It was filmed back in 1967, in California, and became viral between the Scientist Community around the world (that's why we didn't find the cure of cancer lol). They analyzed each frame of the video to decide with accuracy, if that thing was really an unknown animal, or just some random guy with a monkey costume.

That scene used to cause me chills when i was just a lil' boy. I mean, the scene isn't that scary at first, but they use to show in scary context (like TV episodes about unsolved mysteries around the world). And that's pretty traumatic for a child.


Cameras, back in the last decade, were less present. Your family had ONE camera, whose function was record birthday parties or capture blurred pics of new year's eve. You only could take 36 shots each time and to change the photo films it wasn't a piece of cake.
Today, ALL OF US, without exceptions, got cameras (some of us got more than one).

And, sadly, i conclude that if this paranormal phenomenas that we used to see in pictures or blurred videos of the last decades were real, today would exist a billion of videos on YouTube with Ghost, Demons, Saci Pererês, Zombies caught on camera. I mean, there are, but are obviously misinterpretation of lens flare or obviously special effects.
If that stuff was actually real, would exist so many documentations that probably would be studied by science.

I think that's really sad... Sometimes the technology takes the little bit of magic off that this world had.


More updates the next week
