Also, the "video telephone" that everyone always so desperately awaited from the future? Yeah, we have that; no, nobody uses it, because we can't be bothered to dress up for a phone call.

I also thought no one used facetime until I worked retail recently... The amount of people I saw come in on a facetime calls where they both just had their cameras pointed at the ceiling was bizarre and boggling.

Tell that to the tonnes of people that facetious in public but neither them nor the person they are calling are actually in frame
