Video Calling: The Future Of Calling In Sick

When video calling becomes common-particularly on your mobile phone-I'm afraid we'll see more incidents like the one depicted in this Telenor Mobil commercial (from Norway):

I have to wonder how common these incidents are in Europe where they have widely deployed 3G networks and cheap mobile phones capable of making video calls. At the rate things are going here in the U.S., hell will likely freeze over before we see that capability. I hope I'm wrong.

    Haha, great commercial! But when I worked in the UK, it wasn’t a big deal to be out sick. Indeed, I had a work colleague skip work due to hangover. However, I would put it past companies in America. Probably after we develop 3G networks, they’ll develop business phones with secret thermometers, so you can check your employee’s temperature. ;)

    What I will be scared of is the company issued mobile phone with the built-in secret drug tester. :)
