A researcher studying future trends once said that our society is
transforming from Atoms into Electrons. What he meant to say by that is
we are moving from the physical substance like a real brick &
mortar business (The Atoms) to the virtual stores and business on the
Internet (The Electrons).
From paper books to ebooks, from paper manuals to CDs, from a human
teachers to virtual presentations and video clips. From film cameras to
digital cameras, from drawing by hand to designing on computer screens
and it goes on and on.
So what is it exactly “Web Conference Call”, web conferencing is when
two or more users who are all connected to the Internet share
information.
Web Conference Call is in-line with this trend of digital, virtual, electronic world we are all living in the western world.
My father came to visit us and saw my five years old son playing with
my laptop, he smiled and said, well, first they minimized the computers
now I see they started to minimize the users as well... :-)
This amazing technology of web conference calls is taking a huge leap
towards the creation of the world as a one small village that is very
efficient and saving much time, money and energy.
These technological advances have tremendous impact on our economy,
environment and our lives. The Web Conference Calls technology is
strengthening the tendency to allow employees to work from home, and in
the future to cut on commuting, save time and money, reduce the amount
of cars on the roads, to lower the death rates on the roads, to cut on
pollution, gasoline consumption, amount of flights etc’.
One CEO of large corporation estimated that Web Conference Calls
technology is saving his organization more than 40 million dollars per
year on travel and accommodations alone.
Web Conference Calls is taking advantage of the Internet’s two most
notable qualities of sharing information and connecting people from
around the globe.
Imagine, ten people need to meet at an office in NY at 9:30 am sharp.
Each one of them is driving his own car or fighting to find a cab, they
drive during rush hour surrounded by many nervous drivers around them,
they arrive to the building area and there is no free parking around.
They park at the first free parking lot they can find and they pay
anywhere from $25 - $75 an hour. They walk ten minutes by foot during
the humid summer or rainy winter.
Then there is a delay because not every body made it on time. They
drink coffee and chat and the meeting that was supposes to be 90
minutes is becoming two and a half hours. When it finally ends, each
participant need to drive back to his office and waste some more time...
Now compare all that to a Web Conferencing virtual meeting!
Whether it's joining an online training session, initiating an online
brainstorming session, or reviewing a meeting that was missed,
conferencing and "meeting" online has never been easier.
