Sai Hi To The Camera

Long relationships can go through withoud real contact. There's only need of a computer and a camera. Yes, it's happened for years, but not decades. So, it seems like this new thing would become part of our daily life. We wouldn't notice the time when it would be easier to talk to a camera rather than facing another person in the "real" life.
It is, certanely, a matter of time. Sometimes we can't even tell the difference between going out and hanging out on the net.
I guess computers are an excuse to avoid fisical contact... but, could it replace humans?
