With the growth of companies and the increase of airline tickets its harder everyday for companies to send their employees on business trips. However, technology is always a step ahead and telepresence has played an important role in the communication between companies. Telepresence is video-conferencing that is modified. Conference rooms are equipped with high-quality audio, video and networking technology in order for business meetings to take place. This new type of networking and technology helps big companies to have important meetings without expenses and traveling. I think this is a create invention and it will help many business to have closer relationships with important clients. Some of the companies who currently use telepresence are Teliris, Hewlett-Packard, Tandberg, Cisco and Polycom.

I think this is a great idea that will become very established with our companies and major corporations. Great point about the expenses it takes to send these employees around the world to meetings and such. I just hope that technology doesn’t take over too much and lead to a lack of social interpersonal relationships due to a television or computer screen between us.
