Streaming Live Video

Yes now you can use Live Video Streaming technology to talk with people internationally. Anywhere by the click of a button you can be having video and audio communication with a person whether it is in the house next door or 10000 miles away. You can do it now!!

So what are the advantages in this technology? When you are meeting 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 themself. 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...
