"You're a terrific hologram" -- Tele-Reporting on CNN?

Posted on November 4, 2008 - 1:18pm by Cindy Here's some words you don't hear on TV everyday (unless, maybe, you're a trekkie):

"Well, you're a terrific hologram..."



Those words were uttered on CNN last night by Wolf Blitzer, during the election coverage, as news correspondent, Jessica Yellin, was "beamed into the New York studio from Chicago."  Watch and be amazed below:

So, we made history twice last night!  First, we saw the first telereporting ever on TV as Jessica's beamed image occurred on live TV, then we voted in the first African-American President!  Wow, what a night indeed, Obi-Wan. (cheesy, I know, but I had to say it)

How long until telereporting becomes common place?  I can't wait to have my own personal telereporting machine at my desk.  How about you?  Are you a little excited about this?
