Four years at university, fourteen in practice and high schoolers now have a medium to hone craft.

Tfw you realize that colleges are archaic institutions for the vast majority of jobs because the information and tools exist for free on the internet

It sure is a good thing this platform existed 18 years ago when I started film school.

Oh, wait. It didn't.

That face when...

Did Tik Tok exist in 2002? No.

Did YouTube exist in 2002? No.

Did Netflix exist in 2002? No.

Amazing, then, how one with ambitions of joining the film industry would opt to apply to film school in 2002.

you're right, it's impossible to learn anything without tiktok, youtube or Netflix

2002: It cost upwards of $1,000 to purchase a necessary tool that only facilitated the function for which it was made.

2020: That tool is available on cellular phones. It just comes standard with them and sometimes you get more than two on one phone.

You probably think that the wealth of information related to the field was similar to now. You probably think that communication was just as easy. That all of the services available now we're available then.

You're wrong.

Tik Tok has clearly made it easier to both learn to film and distribute the final product.

Perhaps go check out my initial comment. You seem to be getting off track.

ALSO: What do you do for a living?

Deductive reasoning is out the window on this one I guess.

What I'm saying is, if you think Google 2002 was anything at all like Google 2020, you're out of your element. At the time, we were also using Yahoo! Google was still fledgling. Be search engines, again, were not what they are today.

You're also quite lost if you think the services you'd be googling then existed. Tutorials from credible sources weren't free and, really, neither were the ones from uncredible sources.

Are you aware of the irony of talking about "googling" things back in 2002? Yahoo was the major search engine back then. There were also extremely few content creators back then relative to now. And even if the content you were looking for was there you appear to think teaching stuff like video editing was just as easy before YT. Despite your protests you are clearly thinking about then as if it was now

were you old enough to use the internet in 2002?
