Webcams not Dead

YCN have recently installed a webcam on the premises [ycnonline.com/camera] so you can check up on them anytime of the day or night. Could this be the start of the reaction against all the current Web 2.0 [oreillynet.com/what-is-web-20] malarkey and a renewed interest in the web from wayback [archive.org/waybackmachine]?
The first officially documented webcam went online in 1991 and was pointed at the Trojan Room Coffee Pot in the computer science department of Cambridge University. It ran for a decade before being turned off. The final image captured by the camera can still be viewed at the webcam’s homepage [cl.cam.ac.uk/tmp/xvcoffee]. Since the early 2000s, interest in Webcams have waxed and waned. Still there is a fair wack of them still silently monitoring various local environs. Here’s a handful for your perusal…
