Some guy named Christopher found a little post card that shows there is prior art for Skype and other webcam software (yeah, I know Skype was the late-comer – but who gets a CU-SeeMe reference today?).
Check it, it’s kinda creepy. Even shows how French people invented the Interwebs.
From a French postcard c. 1910. Notice the caption which translates as “In the year 2000.” Not too far off, except for the costumes.
