Yeah that webcam looks too new tech to be from 1994. That kind of device made for clipping to a laptop is mid-2000's tech. Early webcams were round or square and came on their own stand. More importantly, USB 1.0 was only standardized in 1996... so originally it must have been a serial or parallel port peripheral that may or may not have needed a separate digitizer, and it was almost certainly black-and-white. Maybe it was the Connectix QuickCam.
The reporter seems entirely too young to know how to capture how archaic the thing really was.
- conradfr 4y agoIt's clearly stated in the article that this is not the original webcam.
