David,

I am not sure I agree with your prediction. The beauty of email, wave, and even IM is that we can respond on OUR time.

That is the main difference between those tools and the phone. Phone requires answering when it rings or it goes to VM which is similar to email.

I believe that your video scenario may replace phone, and it might decrease use of IM, but I do not believe it will decrease the user of email, nor apps like twitter and fbook. Remember, text can be skimmed, video cannot.

I predict that the rise of rapid, simple video communication will bring a massive decline in the number of messages that contribute to ‘conversations’. Don’t we already spend ridiculous amounts of time thinking about the ‘right’ (clever, funny, insightful) way to respond to an email/FB message/blog post? If we were sitting in the same room (which is what the next wave of video comms will be like), we’ll just look into the camera…say our piece (perhaps even in real time because we’ll see who’s online immediately)…and save ourselves a ten email back-and-forth!

@chris Well dang, that sucks! Sorry about that. I hate the bloody captcha myself but it was my first defense to the spammers that were all over me like a dirty shirt a while back. I guess I need to take another look at the whole comment process I have set up. Hopefully you’ll be able to tell me about your cool thoughts over a beer sometime.

Sad – I just finished a funny, and informative comment here, but failed to copy onto clip-board before typing Captcha code into box below. Now it is lost in space, effort wasted, thoughts lost. Dang! Maybe there was a cosmic reason for this, maybe the iGod’s are telling me to STOP ’shouting’ and start listening online. Who knows… sorry you missed my words, and are stuck with these.

Perhaps FRED, can come up with a better system than CAPTCHA to punish the good people with one more step to sound off. I know for one – the universe would be better without it; especially after my self-loved rant comments were just lost.

Let’s try again, and then go back to work.

I felt like that today. Saw a baby inside my wife during an ultrasound and I said “Whose baby is that?”

Maybe Google Wave will save the day and move us all to the next level – I’m sure they’d like to see that happen

I like it too, David, the ease of communication, but also think it will lead to more stress for a lot of people as others expect instant answers and responses from them.

John.
