I always wonder why they didn't test the cam contraptions before inviting the newsreel cameras. The grimmest of these was a fellow who jumped off the Eiffel Tower in 1912. He had something that he expected would work like the cape that Batman wears. Instead of a graceful and dramatic glide to a soft landing, he dropped straight down. Instead of measuring the distance of his flight (horizontally), they measured the depth of the crater he made. You can see the snuff film on YouTube here: There's a little background about it here: Consolation for anyone whose demo crashes (as many of mine have)... you can still walk away. Turns out, though, that in both cases you can wind up on YouTube. BTW: As my friend Michael Witlin reminds me, Apple was successfully demonstrating speech recognition in echo-filled auditoriums back in Sculley days.
