Staying in touch with loved ones has never been easier than today, with the Internet, text messaging and the telephone. Additionally, there is video conferencing via the Web, but Daniel Goddard (Cane) says the technology still leaves a lot to be desired. "It's either, 'Can you hear me?' 'Yes, I can hear you.' 'Can you see me?' 'No, I can only hear you.' Or it's, 'I can see you but I can't hear you! Can you tilt the Web cam down more?

Or what we end up doing is calling each other on the phone and looking at each other on the Web cam." Goddard has heard that the adult porn industry is trying to make use of the technology, and believes it would be a funny skit on TV. "It's got to be the most sexually frustrating thing in the world to watch somebody on a Web cam!" he chuckles. "It either drops out or it's stuttery, or there is a five-second delay. It's for people with nothing else to do."
