This is far from a new idea, but now Google is adding a new feature to their website, which is online video chat. Companies, friends, family, and everyone in between will be able to chat with each other through the internet, but also see each other at the same time. Other search engines such as Yahoo do not offer this. Although web cam chats have been around for quite some time, it just goes to show that this idea has pushed toward acceptability and how media technologies allow us to communicate more freely and easily. It is very exciting that we can have a “face to face chat” with someone miles away from us. Although it is not truly face to face, its the closest we have to that real life interaction.
