Video
conferencing provides users with the opportunity to talk to someone else face
to face in any other part of the world.
It provides the user with the feeling that the person they are talking
to is in the room with them. This
technology provides the users with the opportunity to communicate with each
other and look the other person in the eye.
It provides users with an inexpensive opportunity for its users to see
and communicate with each other without draining their pockets of their hard
earned money. Video technology can also
be beneficial to family members who have loved ones serving in the armed
forces. Through the use of video
conferencing allows these families to communicate with each other and see each
other all of the time. It helps to see
the person as well as hearing their voice when you are talking to them. Video conferencing replaces letters, e-mails,
recordings, landline telephones, and instant messaging services. They do not require calling plans or charge
you long distance rates for talking to people.
Long distance calls, letters, and e-mail will be replaced because the
technology allows people to talk face to face.
This technology takes away the need for phones or any form of written
communication. Video conferencing allows
people to face each other and talk as if they were sitting in the same room
together. It eliminates the need for any
form of voice or written communication between people in different parts of the
world. Everything can be done electronically
through the use of microphones and cameras.
This technology retrieves the old phone conferencing and group calling
tools. It also replaces group messaging
and e-mail messaging tools that people can use to communicate. This technology also replaces VHS video
recordings that people would record and send to one another. Video conferencing technology will be
replaced by a more advanced form of communication technology. This new technology will make it possible for
people to visually communicate with each other from their phones, tvs, watches
and other forms of technology. I also
think advanced forms of travel will make this technology for communication no
longer necessary. The technology will
become more advanced and new devices will make this technology obsolete.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteYour tetrad and commentary were enjoyable and very similar to mine. Video conferencing is the perfect example of how technology may replace something else, but the need and for and use of the technology it replaces remains in place. Take your example of video conferencing replacing the letter, emails, phone calls, and text messages. Even though the technology exists to replace those, they are still being widely used. I think technology has a specific purpose and use, and depending on the situation some one may need to use all of them. For example, a situation may call for texting where a video conference session would either be inappropriate or a hassle to accomplish.
Where do you think technology could go after holographic television and meetings? I do not think that time travel will ever be accomplished, but I do think that there will eventually be technology that could transport people instantaneously from place to place.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteOne of the comments you made struck me as prolific; the fact that video conferencing alleviates charges that apply to cell phones and forms of voice communication. However, technology exists that is free that makes video conferencing possible. For example, Skype is a free download that allows for face-to-face interaction without purchasing any software; that is if the computer already has a built in camera. Still, the cost is minimal.
I agree with John about using technology for the situation. Some situations call for emails while other situations may call for a full video conference.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteI love using Skype! It can be frustrating when the internet access is of lesser speed or poor connection. I feel as if I am closer to the people I am conferencing with than when there is just voice. I suspect bandwidth, internet speed, and security policy will preclude the widespread use of video conferencing at work for a long time. Telemedicine might be the one exception!
