- This Color 1974 educational film shows a variety of vintage technical equipment used in fields of radio and television, including photography, audio and video recording, script writing, stage creation, broadcasting and others. Films such as this were often used in schools to help expose students to potential career ideas and spark an interest in future areas of study and the formation of longer term goals. Also during this time period, job skills and requirements in these fields were beginning to evolve from traditional analog methods to greater use of emerging digital technologies. This film provides a fascinating look back at some of the career training paths and skills being considered by students in the 1970's.

Run time 13 minutes.
The feeling when you watch this five decades after it was made, while running your RUclips channel :)
Definitely a career for me, if only radio wasn't dying nowadays. I used to volunteer at a campus radio in my university days in late 2000s, doing electronics maintenance and some sound engineering. We had gear considered vintage back then - fully modular and semi-modular mixing consoles, reel-to-reel recorders, broadcast grade signal amplifiers... and some modern tech too, like computer-aided broadcasting. Things sometimes broke and needed to be fixed, it was a lot of fun.
Hard to find a station engineer (or technician even) job nowadays. The Polish radio broadcasting landscape is all dominated by corporate networks rather than individual stations, and these rely on few mobile technicians covering a larger area, if remote access is not an option. Gone are the days of landing a job at your local radio station... IF you're still lucky enough to have a local radio station, that is!
Hi @KeritechElectronics, very interesting, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and information on this.

Yes, good catch! ~
Diggin' the 70's music vibe man. ☮
So many of those jobs don't exist anymore, esp in clerical.
The payroll woman who wrote a check for $451 in 1974 (8:20), is equivalent to about $2,821 in 2024. That's fairly good net pay for both years. Whoever designed the clothing for Lucille Ball, and the others on stage at 10:30, should be arrested by the fashion police. :/ But really, technology has displaced, or greatly reduced, many of these jobs. The way AI is advancing, eventually there may not be a need for anyone to appear in front of the camera. Everything will be computer generated and you won't be able to tell the difference between a real actor and a computer generated one. It's happening now. You don't know whether comments, texts, phone calls, and the like, are real or fake. The machines have already taken over.
Before robotics rendered TV Studio Camera Operators redundant.
I _think_ that is Rod Sterling doing the voice-over. If it is, it's kinda appropriate and cool !!
It's not Rod Serling.
@@arricammarques1955 Ok, do you know who it is?
Thank you
Estábamos mejor antes que ahora
Amo esa época
Detesto la "modernidad" de ahora
Abobinable
The narrator sounds like Rod Sterling; I half-expected the film to turn into an episode of the Twilight Zone
very similar voice, but pretty sure it is not Rod.
I'm concerned for my grandchildren, what will be left for them to do?
I believe this is the future of AI. Only if it enjoys these type of jobs of course.
