From the YouTube Channel:  The AT&T Tech Channel

Another classic.  This video discusses how the long distance communications network was designed and built.  If you advance to around 23 minutes, you will see a clip where they talk about the future and how one day we will have the ability to do video teleconferencing. 

In this specific example of video phone, look how great it is you can talk on the phone with the local butcher to pick out your exact choice of meat you want.  How personal everyone back in this day used to be.  :)
