Looking out for the Personal Touch

We are all becoming more and more dependent on technology. In fact, the other day I read an article that talked about the setting up of video conferencing facilities in a hospital to enable doctors and patients to keep in touch. The rise of technology has frequently been associated with the rise of a certain robotic-ness in our outlook on things. Are we really turning into robots in human skin thanks to the rise of technology? That is the ultimate question.

Yet, as the above-mentioned article suggested, perhaps technology simply lets us be human. In the advanced world of ours, we should be able to come up with infallible robots to act as doctors. Despite that, we prefer to talk to our docs via video conference. That is only because we like a certain amount of personal touch in our dealings. Even if the doctor is far away, being able to speak to another human being with emotions, feelings, and some failings, provides comfort to every patient anywhere in the world.

Let us move out of the field of medicine and into the world of profits. One might say that business is a far more heartless area than that of health. However, such a statement does not take into consideration the fact that people that generate profits for the organization -- people; not robots.

That is why, even today, business organizations conduct important meetings in conference rooms. Sometimes delegates and employees fly across continents just for the meeting. However, that usually falls pretty expensive. The need to constantly cut costs may not agree with the need to fly in people from different continents. That is why as a business, one should to go in for toll free conference calling.

A conference call is very similar to a meeting. However, it is often a better idea than a meeting at times. It is a very useful mode of conducting meetings especially when the persons required to be present do not live in the same city. Airfare does not come too cheap and neither does accommodating the participants of the meeting. Toll free audio conferencing, for instance, would turn out to be cheaper. Moreover, with the various facilities that are offered by conference call providers, such as the star teleconferencing service, an organization can add a great deal of value to the meeting.

Previously, conference calls could only be audio. However, audio-visual conference calls are in vogue these days. Even today, when emails can help us work through many problems, people continue to hanker for the personal touch. And technology makes this luxury available to us.
