We're living in a rapidly smaller world, where not only the number of people is growing but so is our awareness of them, connecting through technology to other people and places. These connections are becoming easier and easier as time goes by, what could only be done through audio can now be done through video.
A great example are these 15 amazing live cams that will allow you to see far away places, see animals at their natural habitat or at the shelter (and even interact with them!) and learn about exciting things. This is an eye opening list to the great world out there, and I've enjoyed trying every one of them. Click on the name of the cam (for example: "Cat Cams" to go to that camera). |
