The gap between the availability of and the general implementation of new technology continues to amaze me

Color photos of World War One.
The idea that the techonology to take color pictures has been available since 1904 but that it took fifty some years for it to become practical to use astounds me. One can only imagine what things that are impractical novelties today will be commonplace within fifty years.
Moreover, these photos are an amazing window into a world that I previously thought existed only in monochrome.

On an unrelated note, I've been saving up stories for the past month while I've been sorting out computer trouble, so you can expect rather frequent updates in the next two weeks or so.
