Closer together

It's amazing how current communication technology allows real time calls with several persons, while each one is at a different location.

What's more impressive, is that it not only allows audio but video too. With the right software/hardware combination, video calls can be made to anyone without mattering where in the world they are.

Thus, bringing people together than other otherwise would have difficulty communicating with each other. And if you add that you can add video to the calls that can be made, makes it a lot more gratifying than just listening the person you want to talk to.

From my point of view, this advancement in communication technology is a good thing. Since it helps to keep people in touch with their loved ones a lot easier, and sometimes far cheaper than traditional alternatives, it helps to keep people happier while they make their lives in places far from they are from.

At the end, technology is making easier to keep people in touch with their roots. But at the same time, it also make it easier to get to know people from other cultures than other wise would be almost unthinkable to do so. This gives me hope that soon we could have a better understanding about why and how other people think about.

If used correctly, it can make the world a better place.
