Video views of Paris: in an archive near Les Halles, 4,000 film images

Article Abstract:

The Videotheque de Paris, located in the Forum des Halles off the Porte St-Eustache, in Paris, is an automated video library that contains a collection of views of the city from many viewpoints and perspectives in space and time. The Videotheque, which charges about $4 for admission, is described as a 'hypermarket' of visual images. Everything is there, from films by Thomas Edison, done during the 1900 World's Fair, through films of the city during the Nazi occupation, and including more up-to-date images of everything from jazz musicians and student riots to Twiggy. The Videotheque, which opened in 1988, is a high-tech creation that borrows from the future in order to find a way to preserve the past. It is a recommended stop for visitors to the city.

New teaching tools for a video age

Article Abstract:

New educational compact-disk read-only-memory (CD-ROM) packages are bringing multimedia technology into the classroom. Some analysts maintain that the bland presentation of text book-only instruction is finding it more difficult to hold children's attention in an age where it must compete with high-technology leisure pursuits such as video games. Some new products due for release soon combine audio, graphics, text and video in an effort to bring advanced educational techniques into the classroom in the form of interactive entertainment.
