Skype with me!

Webcams are an invention that have improved relationships between people and help foster communication where none was available before. With webcams almost always included in laptop computers now, its design is convenient and makes to improve society. Of course, there are negative consequences that come with webcams, such as explicit and inappropriate content spread across the internet, but I believe the design of webcams really aim to make society better.

As most people own laptops nowadays, webcams no longer need to be purchased separately and are usually included with the computer. This makes webcamming between two people very easy and accessible through programs such as Skype. Because of this, communication between people has improved, especially for those relationships that are not local, but are across the country or even across the world. Before webcams, these relationships would need to survive through snail mail or telephone calls, which can end up costing a lot. Now, people can save money talking to their loved ones and have the joy of seeing each other’s faces at the same time!

Webcams, especially when installed into the computer itself, offers a stronger link between two people and allows for distance to go a little less noticed. Separation anxieties become a lesser problem within a relationship and communication between two people increases. The convenience of turning on your computer to the face of your loved one improves our society by allowing us to keep the connections that we have made in person. No longer are relationships lost due to lack of communication. Webcams have saved us from this and allow for the saying “keeping in touch” to really stay true! So, will you Skype with me? J
