alt Hacker NewsI mostly agree with you, but you couldn't have have meaningful live videochat between continents in 2000.

CuSeeMe certainly was being used before 2000.

That took until skype in 2003 I guess. The idea is pretty old though and people were trying for it for a while from different angles.

Maybe not between continents but we had meaningful live video chat in 1968
CU-SeeMe worked pretty well in 1995 if you had access to a half decent Internet connection, which admittedly most people didn’t.
For well funded organisations, ISDN video conferencing facilities were reasonably common.
