Truly amazing and useful technology. Back in the day, we didn't need no stinkin' yellow lines, we took a ruler and scaled off the hash marks. You knew if a play made a first down or not by looking at the whether the referee spotted the ball with his left or right foot.

Remember when the Cowboys painted direction arrrows on the field by the hash marks so you knew which way to the end zone? (low tech, but still used).
