Our reliance on technology is increasing constantly. In fact, the other day I read an article that talked about the setting up of video conferencing facilities in a hospital allowing patients to say "What's up doc?" The rise of technology has frequently been associated with the rise of a certain robotic-ness in human beings everywhere. Are we really turning into robots in human skin thanks to the rise of technology? We are still looking for the answer to that.

Yet, as the above-mentioned article suggested, perhaps technology helps us hold on to our humanity. In the advanced world of ours, not much should stop us from creating infallible robots to act as doctors. Despite that, we prefer to talk to our docs via video conference. That is only because we look for contact with other humans. Even if the doctor is far away, being able to speak to another human being with emotions, feelings, and some failings, soothes the frazzled nerves of patients anywhere in the world.

Let us move out of the field of medicine and over to the world of business. 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 are employed in business organizations -- people; not robots.

That is why, even today, business organizations conduct important meetings in conference rooms. Sometimes delegates and employees located across the oceans come for the meeting. However, that can burn a hole in the organization's pocket. The need to constantly cut costs may not agree with the need to fly in people from different continents. That is why it is much more advisable to go in for toll free conference calling.

A conference call is very similar to a meeting. However, it is a lot more convenient than a meeting at times. It is a very useful mode of conducting meetings especially when the persons required to be present are located all over the world. Airfare does not come too cheap and neither does accommodating the participants of the meeting. Toll free audio conferencing, for instance, would fall much cheaper. Moreover, with the various facilities that are offered by conference call providers, such as the star teleconferencing service, an organization can provide that much needed personal touch.

Previously, conference calls could only be audio. However, audio-visual conference calls are the order of the day. Even today, when emails can resolve a wide range of issues, people continue to hanker for the personal touch. Thanks to technology, we can avail of this luxury.
