Is this over regular phone lines??? Cause squeezing 10fps out of that is actually impressive

Such a luxury back in the days, we just take it for granted now

We really do . I remember when it was more prominent in the 90s and 2000 on pc . Such amazing technology. Now with KZread and KZread live streaming and Star link and iridium satellite communication and hf radio . What time to be alive

That was seriously tech, as luxurious as having a landline in your car!

You mean a cell phone

I can remember our neighbors had rented one to talk with relatives across the country. We went over their house to have a look at it. It was a wild concept at the time.

Lmao at “long before zoom” Skype is typing...

@Horizonshot but skype is revolutionize the video call industry..

I remember video calls with land lines was around in the 1990s. It was soo cool and i think it still is

Gregorio Y. Zara (8 March 1902 - 15 October 1978) was a Filipino engineer and physicist best remembered for inventing the first two-way video telephone. Zara’s video telephone invention enabled the caller and recipient to see each other while conversing, laying the foundation for video-conferencing. Zara was an outstanding student who graduated valedictorian in elementary and high school before obtaining a scholarship to study mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He went on to graduate with highest distinction in aeronautical engineering and physics from the University of Michigan and the University of Paris, respectively. Zara held 30 patents for devices and equipment. Other notable creations include an induction compass used by pilots for direction, a solar-powered water heater and an alcohol-fuelled aeroplane engine. Zara also discovered a law of electrical kinetic resistance known as the Zara effect.

I bet people then were like "just give it a year or two and we will have good video calls regularly!"......

How time flies. We're close to the Jetsons and the Disney movie "Wall-E"

Wow, those were the good ole days. When payphones were at every convienence store, local and long distance phone rate packages were the only way to have phone service unless you used calling cards, and video calling phones .

900 number... The kids are getting naked vouluntary now

Thank you to Dr Gregorio y Zara

These CNN throwbacks are so cool to watch

1990: Introducing the First Video Phone! 2021: Introducing the AT&T ML16929 2-Line Speaker Phone with a camera!

Filipino Scientist Dr. Gregorio Zara created the fist video phone in 1952 & patented in 1955

It looks like 2fps.

My phone is still $1,500 today... 🤦🏻‍♂️

$1500 in 1992 and $1500 today is a totally different thing.

Crazy to compare this on what we have now in just a few decades.. You can have a phone as low as $100 that can do WAAAY more stuff than this.

Wow, this is pretty incredible, but smart phones took a whole 15 years more? I feel like they have advanced technology, but they’re only stretching it out to make money. I’d rather see that technology now as early as possible, and let the new generations worry about newer technology.

Poor people :) i imagine how would 1992 people react to facetime :))

@@AllThingsGospelATL so, how do they react? 😄

I worked in an AT&T phone center back in 1992. I remember getting the video phones in stock. We had one set up in all the neighboring AT&T phone centers so customers could try them out. We would demo it by calling the Monroeville or Pittsburgh store and customers could video with a store sales person. They were extremely expensive and the video quality was terrible. Blurry, grainy, and very choppy video. We never sold a single unit and they were quietly discontinued. Had the video quality been better out of the gate and the price lower, they would have done well.

Is this a reupload from the 1980s?

Never brag about technology, 10 years later people will laugh at you. Haha

Owww that is the Filipino inventor dr. Gregorio zara born on 8 1902 who invented video telephone

Amazing tech!!

Amazing

Zoom is censoring Tiananmen Square activists. Thats what you get for using a Chinese Company's service 🤣

Crazy how far tech has come

The frame rate is atrocious. Looks more like 2 frames a second than 10. Might as well have been a still image.

Dial up modems, no colour screens, slow computers… Wait till we eventually get interactive holographic tech.

It still looks cool.

To bad this and the first iteration or two of Cisco video calling/conferencing had no security or encryption.

The ideas were there but instead humans fought each other and it took us 30 years to produce reasonable video calling. Imagine what we could achieve if we lived in a peaceful time.

I don’t want to see most people I’m talking too😳

Wow

This Is Perfect Due To COVID-19

Why is technology moving so quickly now?

I’d like to go back to when there was no video option.

looks like a nice cancer-free way to talk. Should be remarketed.

A filipino invented the Video phone

AT&T and CNN are owned by the same company...

Yeah seriously. They act like zoom is the first video calling service to exist since then or something. Weve had skype, facetime, and lots of other smaller, less known video calling since the early 2000s. Zoom isnt pioneering anything that we havent had for over 15 years already. U can tell they had a boomer make the title of this video lol.

Lol I wasn’t even born

This is cool! I'm Superman's brother btw!

Copyrighting😂

Reach out and touch faith!

😂😂 it’s crazy to see this imagine small children calling sex workers you would be impressed what a child can see today

In Great Britain, video phone call would cost 900 hundred pounds per minute for both sides
