Imagine working in an office and constantly wondering if there’s any coffee left. Well, in 1991, researchers at the University of Cambridge solved this problem in the most nerdy way possible—they set up the world’s first webcam to keep an eye on their coffee pot! ☕🔍

The camera provided a live feed of the communal coffee machine, saving people unnecessary trips only to find an empty pot. Little did they know, this small invention would pave the way for live streaming as we know it today. 🎥

Would you use a webcam just for coffee? Or do you trust your luck? 😂
