| "Wonderfull" (Tojo Thomas 5/12/2004 3:38:06 AM) |
| "With air travel becoming a pain, can I use a Rounds Robot to attend conferences and meetings instead of hours locked in an airplane? Attending meetings by videoconfernce lose the "touch" gained by informal interface between sessions. Attending via networked robot would make much better use of my time but still allow me to "face time" with peers. Imagine being able to conduct walk-around meetings in several locations on a single day!" (Larry 2/11/2005 6:57:32 PM) |
