It's quite amazing to see what technology has brought to fruition
and not brought to fruition.For example, I've been waiting for
hover-board skateboards and floating cars from back to
the future for the last decade and a half.. On the other hand,
cars similar to the Delorian have already been running on biodiesel
for the last few years.The idea that you could video chat with
someone was a thing of science-fiction back then. Just as cell
phones, GPS, and the internet have changed our lives, its normal
to think you can see people in real time from half way across the
world. The convenience and candidness of seeing the person your
talking to has led to its own cons. For instance, when your video
conferencing with someone, you can't multi task, you have to look
at the mirror to see how you look, and you cant very well give bored
looking facial expressions and pick your nose.. haha .. All in all, the
webcam is great for long distance relationships and video conferencing
for multinational companies. Now all we need to do is add a firm hand
shake to close the deal.
