“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.”

Ericsson Videophone (1971)
Ericsson began work on the videophone in the mid-1960s, using a connection to a monitor and camera with the company's Ericovox loudspeaker phone. Although it was a functional prototype, Ericsson abandoned the project when users found it unimpressive and saw no significant need for the technology at the time.
