苹果的目标是，到2011年底，销售约8,500万台支持Facetime视频会议的设备。Facetime或skype的视频通话超级容易使用，集成和工作很好，但几乎没有人使用。好吧，这纯粹是我的推测。我不知道人们是否真的很少使用它，但我认识的人似乎都是这样的。在我几个月前买iPhone 4之前，我对facetime功能很兴奋，但我至今还没有使用它。甚至没有一次。如果你在我买手机之前问我是否会用视频聊天，我会断然回答。不用说，我自己、我的朋友和我问过的同事都说，他们非常、非常少使用iOS手机提供的视频会议功能。它变得更加意想不到的当你考虑,我和我的大多数同事使用网真高清视频会议大约一周一次,使用网讯视频会议超过一周一次在我们的笔记本电脑,并使用skype视频会议每月至少一次或更多的在我们的笔记本电脑。所以这并不是说我们反对视频会议。 In fact, I love doing telepresence sessions with customers because we get so much more done than over a voice only call. So what's going on with iOS video conferencing? Why does it seem like nobody is using it? Well, I have a few hunches about why. First and foremost I think it is because we like our privacy to much to always be taking video calls like we do voice calls. With a voice call you can completely tune out, multi-task, hit mute and tell your kids to quiet down, do emails, wear non-business attire, etc. etc. without affecting your conversation with the person on the other line to much. In fact, when we are on a voice call all parties generally assume that those on the line are providing each other with 100% of their attention to what they are saying. The reality is very different of course, but because the medium is only voice we are able to live up to the perception we are paying attention in most cases. Sure, every once in a while we get caught not paying but by and large we are pretty good at not getting caught. Now, add in video conferencing and things change drastically. You can no longer not pay full attention to your caller and not get caught. Just like in person conversations, people can quickly pick up on someone who is not paying attention, doesn't want to be there, isn't engaged, is multi-tasking, and all sorts of other social queues. Bottom line is we don't use video conferencing like we do voice conferencing because we really don't want to loose some of our privacy and engage in a more intimate and emotionally face to face interaction. So, what do you all think? Do you use Facetime or skype video calling on your iOS device frequently? Do you use it more or less than you thought you would? Am I way off base here and everyone is actually using it and I've got my head in the sand? I think that ubiquitous video calling will overtake voice only calling in the future. But I also believe that it will take many years before it becomes socially adopted as the preferred communication method. It will happen no doubt, just not quickly.
