Origin
Its origins are traced way back in
the middle of 1950s in the
Philippines – long before the start
of the digital age.
Before making the idea a reality, video calling only
existed in science fiction and comic books which
spurred Zara to develop and introduced the device
patented as “photo phone signal separator network”.
His invention allowed two people to be visible with
each other on a small screen while conversing from
a distance. The device enabled distance learning,
video conferencing and also proved useful for the
hearing-impaired persons.

Relevance to today's society
Video conferencing does things that
traditional communications cannot. With
only a smartphone and internet connection
an individual can now video call others
even from a long distance.
For businesses, this reduces unnecessary
costs.
For those with hearing and speech
disabilities, video conferencing allows
messages to be easily conveyed and
understood through the display of body
language, hand movements, and facial
expressions in video conferencing.
In education, video conferencing encourages
interaction and collaboration between
students and teachers
