Video Calling And Tablets Is Older Than Our Grandparents
Video calling has revolutionized the way we connect with our loved ones, no matter where in the world they are. With just a small device, we can see and talk to anyone, anywhere. But it wasn’t always like this. Back in the 1920s, the idea of video calls was something only seen in science fiction films like “Metropolis” and “2001: A Space Odyssey”. These films portrayed video calling as a futuristic concept, something that seemed far-fetched and impossible at the time. But as technology progressed, it became a reality. The 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” even included video calls as a prominent part of the story, where astronauts on a Jupiter-bound ship used video calls to keep in touch with Earth. It’s amazing to think that these films predicted technology that has now become an everyday part of our lives. Even the idea of a handheld device to catch up on earth’s events, it was in the movie, a newspaper. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much further we can go. (Luxurlist)
