Video Phones: Perfect for Out of State Grandparents or Complete Nightmare?





Times have changed. It's an ever evolving and growing world. With these changes, family dynamics have changed as well. Living with or staying in the same hometown we were raised is not as common as it once was. For many children today, going over to grandma and grandpa's house isn't just a simple trip anymore. Air travel and the advancement of telecommunications have eased the burden of distance, but it's still not like seeing your ones face to face.

Ahh... but leave it to technology to bridge another gap. Video phones are now available, there to allow you to see your grandchildren smile, laugh, cough, cry, and say I love you! It may not be as good as being in the same room with them, but it's darn close. You might be concerned that such technology would be so complicated to use. How many times have we heard the nightmares about our previous generation struggling to use computers and program the DVR or TIVO? Although your concerns are warranted, in the case of many video phones, there would be no reason to worry. Most video phones are as easy to use as the phones we grew up with. Once plugged in, you dial a number like you would a normal phone. Plus they come with features of voicemail, call waiting, all the standards your current service offers, many times for much less than your current local and long distance provider.

In a world that continues to grow and living far from family is almost inevitable, we now have a way to close that gap. You can keep those bonds and see them grow. And in the case of your grandchildren, literally see them doing so!
