Webcam

The webcam is used more and more by businesses who work from different locations or who collaborate worldwide. After all: no travelling time, no complicated planning of appointments, yet a faster result.

The disadvantage of the webcam: no eye contact
A webcam has one big disadvantage: you cannot make eye contact with your conversation partner. You can never look straight at each other because             you are looking at the monitor and not into the webcam. It is only a detail but this detail is of essential importance.

The necessity of eye contact
Regular eye contact gives the feeling of being united with the person you are talking to. That creates trust and avoids misunderstandings. In the western culture people are quick to think that some one who avoids eye contact has something to hide. That is considered to be untrustworthy. The use of a webcam is therefore not a qualitative business solution and could never replace the real life conversation.
