However, since then everything has changed so much that even the recording of the programs from the Discovery channel is now impossible to watch without a smile.

Nobody knew that after 15 years a tiny smartphone could replace these bulky devices, combining a data drive, a video camera, a camera, a microphone, a graphic input device and much, much more.
