The Audio Recorder allowed us to record audio any place in the world. We could rewind, play, speed up, slow down, pick out details that we could never otherwise hear. It was transformational.
The Video Recorder allowed us to record video any place in the world. We could rewind, play, pause, watch in slow motion, freeze frame, see details and nuance that we could never otherwise observe. It was transformational.
