Video conferencing is often thought to be a tool specially used for business meetings but the technology is used in many other ways. In fact, business meetings may actually be in the minority (少数) if you expand your definition (定义) of the term. There are other areas in which video conferencing has proven to be an extremely useful tool.

For obvious reasons, the telephone systems have connected the majority of the population for the better part of a century. However, it has never been available to those suffering from speech damage or hearing problems. The use of video as a means of telecommunication for the deaf and other people with communication problems is obvious. While the recent introduction of text services may seem easier to use, deaf people generally prefer to use sign language. Video conferencing makes it possible for these people to communicate with their full feelings. In addition, it has even been used to offer distant services with the help of a third party.

At the most basic level, video conferencing technology can be used by medical experts to discuss case experiences with colleagues across large distances. Beyond this it is also used to offer medical advice in real time for both routine (常规的) and emergency medical situations. For example, it allows a surgeon (外科医生) to advise on an operation being carried out several miles away. However, the most impressive application includes the equipment that can record data about a patient.

Video conferencing can also help cut costs in long distance education and provide services to people in far-away areas. There are lots of possible uses that universities and education bodies have for this technology; a few examples include:

☆lectures delivered by academics at far-away institutions or by staff who are away from their home campus;

☆researchers at different institutions can keep in touch without losing time travelling.

Finally, there’s politics. Considering that meetings between high-ranking officials tend to be confidential (保密的), it may not be used that much. However, it is one of the most common and effective uses of the technology, saving millions in public funds. Heads of state and senior politicians can have a discussion on emergency situations in time without needing to travel and without running the risk of travelling to unstable (不稳定的) places. Considering that few international discussions involve just one or two parties, this application has probably had the biggest effect in the political sphere (范围) — even if no one realizes it.
