Research Paper
Overview
The Video Tape Recorder (VTR) is the first initial live image capturing device which involved the engineering of converting images from cameras into electrical impulses and storing such data onto magnetic tape.
The invention of VTR has had a significant impact on society and has demonstrated effects or influences on aspects of society, specifically highlighted through the contrasts in periods before and after the breakthrough of VTR.
Approach
The Video Tape Recorder (VTR) was the first invention that had allowed for capturing live images. This report paper will cover; a brief history, the engineering technology, connected technologies, arising questions and future discussion of the progress of this technology and in relation to engineering, its influence on specific aspects of, and changes to society as well as a summary of society before and after the breakthrough of VTR.
Limitations to the scope of this report include, the focus of VTR effecting American society therefore, most examples of its influence and effects investigated concentrate on the U.S. population.
This project is a research project that delves into the history and advancements that have allowed for the generation of the modern iterations stemming from the VTR.
