Is nothing new?


Was having a random browse around the Internet just now (using Stumble if you must know) and came across a series of vintage ads. Scrolling down I came across a "picturephone" - yes, a telephone with a video screen in......go on, guess...well it was originally launched in 1964 at the New York World Trade Fair but it was a touch unwieldy so they released a more compact version in the early 70s.

And we thought video conferencing was a thing of the mid to late 90s.......just goes to show huh!
