The story · 2013

The story of Vertical Video Debate

Half the family filmed holding the phone tall, and the other half begged them to turn it sideways. Recital videos came out as skinny strips with giant black bars. Uncles gave lectures. Kids rolled their eyes. Eventually phones got so popular that tall videos won the war, and the uncles never fully recovered.

Fun fact

Some families compromised by filming diagonally, which pleased absolutely nobody and confused the grandparents most of all.
