Here is a bit of webcam trivia for your enjoyment.  The very first webcam was witnessed by John Briggs and others in 1994.

"It was so novel being in Reston, Virginia and seeing real time that status of a coffee pot in England.
One function of our group was to distribute source code for computer water models to be run on main frame computers. We received a request from India with an email address. I emailed the man, we set up an FTP transfer (electronic file transfer), and he had the source code the same day I received his request. The power of the internet."
