Here's looking at you, dj vu?

AT&T produced the first "picturephone" (above) in time for display at the 1964 World's Fair. It never took off commercially. Now, Kyocera Corp is touting its Visual Phone VP-210 (right), which it unveiled at the International Wireless and Mobile Solution Exhibition in Tokyo last month. The video phone can send and receive color images of those using them. Soon you'll be able to face off against unwelcome telemarketers.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
