Humanists will say it is better to make tangible visit rather than depending on technology. But the fact is, it is very hard to maintain work life balance simultaneously. Responsible persons become tired by repeated visits and delivering demo for their products or services.

The main disadvantage of using Video Conference is the user using more and more technologies and is becoming lazy, which is the main reason of depression. Then one can ask. Is the solution provoked us? We can’t deny it. 10 years back, when we were not that much habituated with computer and broadband technology, there was a minimum and maximum working time for every person. In today’s world there is no such timing for the job or using technology. We are using Video Conference in offices to fix the deal with clients. After coming back at home also we are using it to connect with our friends and relatives who are far away from us.
