Video conferencing reduces travel for meetings
Recent research shows that most professionals around the world think that internet video conferencing – using an “internet video phone” to see and talk with other people around the world – is very useful. They also think that video conferences can replace business travel for face-to-face meetings.
Nearly 1,000 top executives in many countries were interviewed. About 900 of them agreed that video conferencing, e-mail and instant messaging help make them competitive. Video conferencing saves time, because professionals don’t need to travel for meetings. Also, travelling abroad can be very tiring for business people, but video conferencing is easy. It also saves money on air tickets and hotels. In the past, video conferencing was very expensive. But now you need only an inexpensive camera that connects to your computer, and a low-cost internet video service like Yahoo. Finally, reducing air travel is good for the environment.
Mobile phone makers like Samsung, Nokia and Sony Ericsson are introducing mobile phones with video conferencing features, so video conferencing will soon be even easier.
