Again or is that the story from a couple years back?
Anyway, all these TV shows were ahead of their time, with their infinite zoom that is now at least somewhat feasible.

Just think about how good security cameras can be these days, zooming in on what a driver across the street is reading. Same with satellites.

Its a common Trope since 1982 scifi movies and stories.

"ZOOM... ENHANCE!"

such as a scene in Blade Runner

It's the same story, but figured it was worth posting even though it's old.

Yeah, I remember seeing a picture taken from one of those extremely high def security cameras a few years ago. It was amazing how far you could zoom in. Maybe this was it? I don't know. I can't see it since I'm using tor.
