Episode 45 - Web Cam

Gogo purchased a webcam recently.

Gogo tried to talked to his cousin through this new toy. He first tried it with Yahoo Messenger but without success. The video capture condition was good but Gogo was not able to connect the video bilaterally. Either his cousin saw him only or vice versa. Perhaps it was because of the fact that his cousin was using Windows Live Messenger.

Gogo then tried the connection with Windows Live Messenger. The connection was successful but the video size was small ( whilst it can be turned into full screen, we cannot see live message) and not stable and the sound connection was bad. Perhaps it was due to the long distance between the two connection points.

Having said that, I still consider that it is worthwhile to install a video cam at home, in particular if you have relatives or friends living in other countries. You can see and talk to each other without the need to pay any additional charges. The new technologies plus the internet have brought revolutionary changes to our lives.
