The video about videophones, which are telephones with a built-in video screen to allow for video communication. The technology has a long history, dating back to the 1930s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that it became commercially available. The Mitsubishi VisiTel was one of the first videophones to be released to the public. Videophones have the potential to enhance communication by allowing users to see and interpret non-verbal cues, but they have faced challenges in terms of bandwidth requirements, cost, and competition from other forms of communication such as smartphones and video conferencing software.
