Well, I can see pictures of the Grand Canyon on the Internet. I could see them in a book 50 years ago. But I would rather see it in person, which I did do. I’m not so sure that people will have that option in the future for financial and other reasons.

I find this amusing. My husband used to fly Grand Canyon tours. I took one once. After about 5 minutes, it was a yawn. It was such a horrible let down. I was in an airport that was pimping a Grand Canyon dvd on their tv. It was awesome and I wished I’d just bought the dvd. The art and editing just couldn’t compete and I wouldn’t have had to spent an hour in turbulence.
