Video telecommunication is a technology being integrated more and more in today’s society. The idea to incorporate video into a phone call has been around for the better part of decade. But just recently has it uses have been integrated into the newest smart phones. These new smart phones are offering audio and video when you call someone who has a similar phone. I am curious to see how the masses embrace this technology or will it be just another cool feature that only some will find useful. Every time you answer a phone you may not want the other person to see how you look or where you are at. The fact the people see you or may hear background noise is why people choose to use text messaging so much. More traditional formats like Skype that use the internet and computers to make this video phoning possible. This technology has been taken advantage of by businesses looking for cheaper alternatives than long flights and hotel bills. Adding a face to a voice can be very important when trying more accurately depict the feeling behind the actual words. That can be a very important factor when trying to maintain relationships with business clients; especially if the client is geographically very far away. This tech has made it easier to globalize the economy. Especially integrating into Asia, within Asian business the relationship is everything. Video phone is a great idea when it is something that you plan. I don’t think that the integration to every call with video will ever happen. There are too many people that won’t answer the phone unless they are in a controlled setting. With Facebook and text messaging our interaction as people is more informal than in years past. Video phone does make the talking more romantic but I don’t think it is meant for every call.
