Inscribed on a massive stone stele and prominently displayed in a public place, the code contained nearly 300 laws covering commerce, property, marriage, wages, and criminal justice.

[Answer] What did the first webcam monitor?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What did the first webcam monitor?"



...Nobody likes arriving to an empty coffee pot. Especially computer scientists at Cambridge University—which is why, back in 1991, a team of them invented the world's first webcam to keep an eye on coffee levels from their desks. They rigged up a camera to grab images of the coffee pot three times a minute, and wrote software to send the images across their computer network. Ironically, the “webcam” actually predates the “web” by a couple of years, but as soon as the World Wide Web went up, the service was connected to the internet.
