The Chinese proverb says that a picture is worth thousands words. It means that a picture is more powerful than words. In the modern technology driven world, this old proverb seems to be believed by everyone because probably this basic conception has led to the invention of Videoconference.
A videoconference also known as video teleconference is nothing but a live connectivity between people sitting at different locations. This kind of electronic communication involves both audio and video, and sometimes supported by text also. This interactive telecommunication technology has revolutionized the instant distant communication process and information gathering.
Like people who are deaf and dumb can use videoconference as a means of communication and can learn new things through sign language while sitting at different locations. This technology can also be used in distant education. For example, many schools lack resources and infrastructure for their students. The students there can learn many innovative and creative things through videoconference and get high benefits. Not only in education, in medical field also this same technology can be used for telemedicine, telenursing and last but not the least for transmission of medical images.
So, the benefits and advantages of videoconference are endless like its applications in the various fields.
