That is an AT&T Video-Phone. We all knew we would all have one of
those
in ten years. Another lie from the "Phonee" company.
It will take a little longer before we have video phones in our
flying cars.
Yeah, sometime next year when Apple rolls out the iPad 2.0 with a
camera in it like it's supposed to have and when we get flying cars.
Which may take a little longer...
You used to be able to go to things like the New York World's Fair,
or the larger state fairs, or even the Los Angeles County Fair and
actually use one of those video phones, or see someone using it.
There are some memories from my childhood which my misspent youth
did not wipe out!
AT&T actually rolled it out in commercial service in 1970
