![]() Yeoldetechy says: The Internet is the standard.įirst, you need a DSL (digital subscriber line) or cable modem Internet connection. Now, products for videoconferencing can be proprietary and still be standards based. However, the Internet has changed everything. Why introduce a product that was not interoperable with the rest of the world? Some very large companies did exactly that. In the old days, Yeoldetechy was dead set against products that were not based on the standards. Since that time the world of desktop videoconferencing has evolved from telephone-based systems (Integrated Services Digital Network, ISDN) that cost over $5000 to Internet based systems needing only a web cam and ranging in cost between FREE (for non-standards based) to less than $200 for standards based systems (these allow interoperability with videoconferencing systems in use at corporations, schools and universities). Yeoldetechy has been evangelizing, and using, “desktop videoconferencing” since 1992 (see web site for scanned and uploaded articles from years past). “ ooVoo” was introduced a few months ago, and the INSTANT Yeoldetechy loaded it and tried it, I was hooked! ooVoo has, in my opinion, the capability to finally meet the ideal of providing easy-to-use visual interactive communication for everyone. ![]() ![]() So, the history lesson will continue for a few posts…oh yeah…I am no longer YeOldeTechy. I recovered this from an old abandoned Blogger account…gotta love the Internet. During the move back to, I lost a few postings that are part of my history as a blogger. ![]()
