So what are the advantages in this technology?

When you are dealing with someone you can see their body language. You can see their facial expression as they answer those questions and actually see who you are talking to.

Do you still have to be careful?

Yes. It is possible for avatars to be used by the person, covering up who they really are. Maybe you will get a shark face, a monkey face or something to show you just what the person is really like??

The technology is there for the genuine person to use and show themselves. No doubt there will be some people that will abuse the technology in some way...

Another word of warning for you is if you are using a webcam and leave the meeting or discussion, make sure that you turn off your webcam. A while back I was on a meeting where a rather embarrassed gentleman left the meeting, forgot to switch off his webcam and a while later walked past on his way back from the shower!! Yes, it can happen and surprisingly easily. On a number of occasions I have realised that my webcam was still on some time after leaving a meeting - no, I haven't been caught out!! Not yet, anyway...

Business Online

It happened again! What, you may ask...well I'll tell you...

I own my own business, although I work alongside another guy who owns his own business too.
Anyway recently there have been a couple of occasions when his emails were delayed in transit for some reason. So what do you do? We needed to make a decision on something urgently...

What we did was we went into my Video Conferencing room. I took host status and went into desktop sharing took him through into my copy of the information and we discussed things online. Do you have any idea just how convenient it was? I am sure in the past you would have had occasions when you have discussed, over the telephone, something that you are making a decision on and without the visual aspect it can be particularly difficult. The ability for desktop sharing and discussion while you are sharing in a secure environment is just fabulous. It certainly makes for a smoother business operation. All I can say is WOW this latest technology is fantastic and sooo affordable even for the small business owner. Yeah, Video Conferencing!!
