Like many things depicted in the Simpsons, this kind of slide show is more characteristic of the writers' boomer childhoods, than of the era they were writing in. It was obvious to audiences at the time, an acceptable break from reality that everybody just understood, and extremely common in tv and movies of that era.
The peak of the home slide show was the 70s. When VHS killed off 8mm home movies, home users people also quit bothering with slides. The camcorder was the thing.
Slide film continued in professional use until replaced by digital, but this was largely irrelevant in the home.

Man, even the word "content" tells the tale of modern media. We don't even refer to movies, music, television, it's all just "content". Something you fill a vessel with. No soul, no artistic vision, nothing of value to say, just filling up the slop tube that the consumer paid for.

Two things:
>the novelty of seeing a photograph has been completely worn down by the internet.
Before when everyone was online constantly (like in the early 90s) seeing a photo only took place in scenarios like this, in a photo album or a magazine. Making people more willing to engage with the photos

>Those photos were film.
Film is just a more emotionally engaging medium than digital.

Film was only more engaging because you had nothing else. Optical printing was also alive and well with a wide variety of papers. You could get true resolution prints if someone had a good enough enlarger and knew how to use it. Low ISO 35mm film, in these conditions, would outperform digital cameras at everything but pushing and shadow DR (which few people needed, because most photography was just done outside or with flash) until the release of the d800 and 5div, which finally had enough resolution to consistently smash even the best 35mm film stocks outside of useless B&W tech films. By the time digital cameras hit 50mp, film was niche, almost no one shot anything bigger than 645. It didn't even matter that 100mp medium format came out and consistently smashed 6x7, 6x9 and sometimes 4x5, because that represents almost no people.

Today you shoot 36 street signs on overexposed portra and pay some fuck to scan them with an 8 bit CCD shitter. They look like old shit and still mean nothing. They're just jpegs you post on facebook and then leave on a backup drive.

if you want to bring those old days back, print your digital photos now that digital can finally look as good or better than film.

Stop runnning your mouth about times you never experienced. Nobody was showing slide shows of their vacations in 1992 you insufferable faggot. Vaction slides were a thing in the 1960s into the 1970s. Everyone had photo albums from the late 1970s onward.
>slides and video coexisted for a long time
Bullshit you insufferable faggot.

I had a slide projector and shot slide film in the 90s, but I was well aware I was *only* doing it as a hobby and no one else I knew still had one at that time. People in my hobby (trainwatching) all shot slides because slides were still the preferred medium for sending your pics in for printing in magazines. This in spite of slide film being more expensive, harder expose correctly, and slower than the available negative films. No normal people shot slides in the 90s, it was almost as niche as film is now.
I can't recall *ever* attending a family vacation slide show like the one on the Simpsons. This was simply not a thing anymore by then.

Slides were still being used into the 2000s. Especially professionally. If you wanted to submit photos for real use they wanted a slide, your original, because negatives did not have consistent color.

That's the key word - professionally. Normal people just got 4x6 prints and put them in photo albums.
There's a ton of anons here that were at least kids if not teens in the 90s, and if anyone has any memory of a Simpsons style normie home slide show taking place with any regularity at any time later than the early 80s, I'd like to see hear.

Until about 2003, yes. Negs were the goto for wedding photography because of dynamic range. But for publications E6 was expected.

But when digital hit, it hit fast and hard. There were so many good ebay deals on film kits by the late 2000s, I regret not taking better advantage of them.

As the other anon said for publication it was all about color. With slides the graphic designers and prepress guys had a reference. Slides also generally scanned better, although a really good scan operator could get the best out of both.
