...and the ones that don't really care about the "risks" involved in it...

What risks?

Just a teen's perspective...

Thanks! Having no kids of my own, I can really appreciate a teen's opinion.
Who wants to be an "eighties throwback", anyway? :P

Living Room / Video chat: Why don't people like it?
« on: August 28, 2008, 06:17 PM »
I'm curious:

Video chat is something I used to dream of (remember Blade Runner?).

I video chat with my boyfriend in France all the time.
But my girlfriends, although they have the means to video chat, would rather talk on the phone (???).
And my 2 sisters (one 3,000 milles away) have simply no interest.

Even a former member of this forum who had a SkypeMe button on his signature (in email, at least) suddenly *disappeared* when I invited him to video chat.

What's up with people?! The future of communication is here, why do people shy away from it?
Is there still an 'adult' stigma attached to it?

So far, all I can come up with is that you can't readily multi-task on video chat as well as on the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks  :)

OK, forget the WaterPic, I changed my mind.

*This* is by far, the best gadget I've ever owned... 215 degrees F at the tip, it is a bug zapper, stone cleaner, all-metal cleaner, plastic cleaner, *name it*. Whatever you steam clean feels nice and warm & completely clean & smooth afterwards.

It's too bad the infomercials have gone overboard, though. The make steamers look like a joke. For example, I wouldn't clean a toilet with a steamer & it's yet to successfully remove glue residue left behind from price tag stickers. Also, this steamer does not do a nice job removing wrinkles from clothing; I have separate steamers for that.

nonetheless...

mine is on all the time and gets used constantly! Someday I'll make a list of all its uses (sooner, if anyone else here has a steamer & they think it is not useful).

A little late, but I finally decided to drop this idea.
CW, Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this so clearly.
