This walkthrough of the new Apple store in New York's Grand Central Terminal called up a memory image from another age. Or, rather, the memory of another image from another time.

Kodak. And it wasn't that long ago, either. I remember a New York Times story on Kodak's new Ektar color film, which represented the pinnacle of silver-crystal film process. Two photos taken of Grand Central, one with Ektar, one with another fast film. You could see many real differences throughout the photo, especially the detail in the dark areas of the image.

Now, film has pretty much disappeared, and Kodak is about to. And anyone can walk through Grand Central with a camera and post it on YouTube for free. No biggie. What will we see 25 more years down the road?
