Ever the impressive Tommy Edison.
ReplyDeleteHe came up with this sixty-two years before someone would demand that they "stop this crazy thing."
I think the "Edison" bit is the cinematography, not the slidewalk itself.
ReplyDeleteI remember 'slidewalks' in the HG Wells novel "When the Sleeper Wakes".
Home video was predicted (is that the proper usage?) in that story, except audio and video were on seperate cylinders.
The book should be a free download from Project Gutenberg.
