- Retra 9y agoPublic videophones could be made right now, if we wanted. Problem is that nobody wants them because they are less convenient than the simpler alternatives.
- chi17 9y agoThe simpler alternatives involve having to pay a monthly fee or having to pre-pay for minutes. In the future, perhaps we won't have the luxury of paying for a lot of service we haven't yet used and might not need to use.
