For some reason, that wasn't very impressive to me.

On its face it isn't impressive, but how this will affect us is that when we're old and we look back at archival footage of today, we're going to see HD instead of grainy film that inherently dates the footage.

So basically the period of time when you would look at footage from 20 years earlier and the footage would be shittier than contemporaneous footage is over.
