If you are one of those people who went to bed early on a historic night, shame on you! 
. Last night’s election coverage was great. it was fun, exciting and the fact that the first black president of USA has been elected is certainly something that will be written in history. Besides the winning of one of the most popular presidential candidate in the history of US politics, there was one more thing that seemed to cause quite a stir : CNN’s use of hologram technology.
Some folks say that people are causing this to be too big of a deal but when was the last time you saw someone being beamed in on TV for real? No, we are not talking about Star Wars and movies for you movie buffs out there waiting to pull some names out to shut me up. We are talking in reality, the use of technology being debuted for real. Last night CNN took this step and debuted this technology for the first time on TV. It was pretty crazy. By the way, with what was predicted couple years ago we are still behind in terms of technology and last night for some reason I felt like we have entered the 21st century. Enjoy the video below :

This was awesome.. When they did it I was amazed. Did anyone else know that hologram technology really existed?
Hey. Using a hologram on TV for the first time did cause quite a stir. But, the first time was a duet between Celine Dion and Elvis on American Idol two or three years ago! It got tons of publicity at the time.
Wow – I can’t believe I missed that! Not that I am a huge American Idol fan, but I would have thought I crossed it in my stumbles.. Thanks for the heads up tpat!
