Video Chat

Cory — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:45:03 +0000

We made our first road trip with Fiona recently, taking her to Springfield, IL to visit my side of our family. It was a great weekend that nearly wore out three cameras with all of the pictures taken.

That said, for the first time in a few blog posts, pictures aren’t what I want to talk about. At the moment, I’m more interested in video: Video Chat to be more specific. As Fiona’s due date approached, my parents and I began discussing setting up a way for us to use video chat. Amy and I already had a web-cam, and my parents quickly followed suit in purchasing one of their own.

In the days before Fiona’s Springfield visit, we were finally getting ready to take our first stab at video chat. After some hiccups in setting up the hardware/software, it was time to make good use of our AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet. My dad and I got the video chat up and running and after only a few seconds, Amy, Fiona, and I could see and hear my mom, dad, and grandmother, almost as though they were right in the room with us.

While it doesn’t replace getting to hold your grandchild/children or hug your parents, video chat can help make the world seem that much smaller, and any distance surmountable. When we aren’t able to meet in person, we can still share our beautiful daughter with our out-of-town family by using video chat.
