Skype
Video phones first entered the market in the 1960s, with early models such as the Bell System's Picturephone being showcased at the 1964 World's Fair. However, these early devices were limited in functionality and usage due to high costs and the need for specialized infrastructure. It wasn't until the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the advent of digital technology and the internet, that video calling became more accessible and popular for consumers, particularly with the rise of platforms like
Skype.
