there was "live streaming" of concerts over special phone lines in the early/mid 1960's
and sending photos over a dot matrix phone line system in the late 1940's
first "drone" flight of an unmaned aircraft, steered by radio control was in the late 19teens
old technical books and album covers, reveal the oddest stuff...
so we are kind of living in an "alternate history"
where everything that could of happened, actualy is happening, all at once, right now
