this scored high in all three of our criteria.

00:00:06.999 --> 00:00:07.382

And a close runner up to...

00:00:08.383 --> 00:00:11.261

our number one invention before its time, the GIF.

00:00:11.344 --> 00:00:15.306

about horse feet leaving the ground.

00:00:17.225 --> 00:00:22.397

In the process, inventing looping video that predated an Internet phenomenon

00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:29.404
