People have fantasized about video chatting for a long time now. Since the Star wars days when Captain Kirk will talk to another members of the USS Entreprise via video chat, people waited anxiously during the day whenever we too would communicate like that.

Within the 60's AT&T released the picture phone which was an enormous phone with some kind of camera mounted on it. The receiver saw a continuing flow of images of you which gave it the allusion of a running video. However, the picture phone never went mainstream as AT&T couldn't attract enough subscribers and also the technology wasn't quite ready yet for that technology.

It was a great starting point however with the arrival from the internet, video calling applications started appearing. When broadband replaced dial-up and people had enough bandwidth to effectively do a video call, apps like skype, msn, camfrog etc grew and some people started exploring video communication.

Between 2000 and 2008, adoption for video calling grew steadily however it was still an afterthought compared to texting, im chatting or e-mails. People claimed it wasn't in their DNA to video chat instead of asynchronous communication. Video chat was also disputed because individuals claimed that they don't want to communicate and also have to focus 90-100% of their effort in keeping eye-to-eye contact. With something like texting you don't need much concentration inside a discussion.

However with the arrival of more bandwidth, better video chat apps, better camcorders and mobile phones, video talk adoption has spiked within the last 3-4 years. You will find web based video apps now in which you don't have to download any software. In your phone, using apps like Klip, socialcam or viddy you are able to broadcast your lifetime in a number of video updates. Cameras for video calling have become better so you can begin to see the person you're speaking to much nicer and individuals are becoming used to video communication. Like every technology before individuals are becoming accustomed to video chatting and the way to utilize it.
