Technology never fails to amaze!
Remember futuristic movies ... or exhibits at Epcot where people communicated with video phones. They could talk with and see each other anywhere in the world. You know that was some pretty expensive equipment to make it all work tho. Well, did you know that the computer on your desk is a video phone? Just playing around with a friend in Arizona ... we both have Windows XP on our computers, so we've been using Windows messenger occasionally to 'chat' - especially since her cell phone isn't working right now. Well, the other day, she decided to click on the 'start a voice conversation' and we were able to talk just like we were on the phone. Today, she clicked on 'start a video and voice conversation' (we both have microphones and video cameras hooked up to our computers). Unbelievable! It actually worked.



So what do we say to each other? "Wow, this is soo cooool!"
