Mit dem Aufkommen des World Wide Web wurde 1993 auf das Interne...

Internet History Podcast96. The First "Web" Cam With Quentin Stafford-FraserSummaryI wanted to speak to Quentin Stafford-Fraser because he was involved in the first “web” cam.

Its camera was focused on a coffee pot so that computer scientists in Cambridge, in the UK could see if there was any coffee available.
