Ever thought that the world would have to put on a nice shirt to talk on the phone? Well the time has come where our society will be able to actually view each other while communicating on the telephone. New technology has been forming which will allow our phones to connect through our internet service and will have video access. The phone will have a monitor on it which will display the person on the receiving end. As with any new technology, there will be some people who will not be willing to change. Regular phones have been around for several years and will probably not fade out quickly. The truth is that there are differences between video phones and regular phones that will create different opinions from the public. While regular phones are what people are comfortable with, video phones are a new technology that will form a curiosity that will out weigh normalcy.

As we grow from children to adults, we tend to move away from our families and begin new families. We begin to have children and have our own lives. This is a natural part of life. The problem with that is our parents are not able to see our children as much as they would like to. All of that is about to change. Think about sitting in your home and visiting with your family in another state or country. Video phones will allow you to do that. With a simple phone call, you will be able to see your family and friends who are not able to live close to you. Your parents will be able to visually know how much their grandchild have grown.
The problem will be introducing a new technology into a world that has had regular phones for years. Some people will not feel comfortable with learning new technology. The good thing is that the design of the video phone will be just as easy to use as the phones we know today. The difference will be that the video phone will allow for many more options. For instance, it is capable of playing real time T.V. and movies. If you have your phone at your desk you are able to watch the weather or you may watch Pretty Woman. You would also be able to bring your phone any where that is internet capable. This is highly effective when making business calls. According to a new company called BlinkMind, a computer is not necessary to use the video phone, as long as an internet connection is available. Video phones also set the bar higher by being easy to use for even the most novices of computer users (www.blinkmind.com).

Probably no means of communication has revolutionized the daily lives of ordinary people more than the telephone (www.ideafinder.com). The telephone was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. Even though the telephone has come a long way since the 1800s, the concept behind it is still the same. It has become a fast and easy way for people to stay connected. In today’s world, it is hard to imagine how anyone lived without a telephone. The majority of the population has a home phone and a cellular phone. Staying connected is obviously important to people. One thing that a regular telephone has that a video phone does not provide is stability. Since the telephone has been around for hundreds of years, it is safe to say that there are few kinks that need to be worked out. There are tons of technical workers that can support a regular telephone service. The fact is that video phones are brand new so there will be kinks to work out and there will be a smaller range of technical support. Engineers are still designing and working on making these phones work without any problems which make them less appealing to the public. People want to know that their means of communication will be reliable.

Even though technology advances, we can not discard the fact that telephones have been around for many years and will not die out easily. It is safe to say that video phones will not replace telephones they will just be an addition to the wonderful technology that our generations have portrayed. Video phones and regular telephones have differences however, their main purpose is communication. In the society that we live in, communication will continue to be as important as it was hundreds of years ago. While regular phones are what people are comfortable with, video phones are a new technology that will form a curiosity that will out weigh normalcy. New ways to stay connected will always be welcomed in the world today. In five to ten years, video phones may be considered a regular phone and there will be some new form of technology. The bottom line is that as long as there are people on earth, there will be a need for communication.
