Webcam: Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

1. Instant ability to connect families and businesses face-to-face without having to leave the room
2. Improved technology for gaming devices (i.e Kinect for Xbox 360)
3. Allows television shows to connect with fans and guests through livestream webcam 
4. Gives people the ability to freely express themselves through the internet via blogs and personal websites
5. People can attend webcam chat rooms to meet more people as they would in a bar or other social setting, however they don't actually have to go anywhere

Disadvantages:

1. Security information becomes more available to others online, like hackers, which can result in a number of things including identity theft and stalking.
2. Surveillance without one's knowledge due to the fact that webcams can be very small and easy to handle
3. Exploitation through the overexposure of oneself through the internet
4. "...web diaries [which] expose a great deal of information about their authors, enabling pedophiles and other preadotrs to select potential targets more easily (Valetk 2003; Frauenfelder, 2002)" (Bocji, 2004).
5. Webcams have created a more sexually oriented internet that has made it dangerous for children to freely search the web
