Chat Roulette
Enjoy this piece my dad did on CBS 2 Chicago, regarding Chat Roulette.
I spent a lot of time on my computer at work yesterday, surfing a site that would surely get me fired if it weren’t for the assignment I was given. Chat Roulette is a site that links your webcam (I borrowed our digital expert Rick Kramer’s) to random web cameras from around the world. I talked with people in Tunesia, France, China, Finland, Denmark, Norway, London and even New York! Some of them were fascinating, but a good number of the contacts I didn’t bother staying with were shirtless men who appeared ready to engage in something sexual or were already engaged. So this fascinating link to the world can also be seedy and x-rated. Not for the kids!



This is what you see all over CES. People wearing 3D shutter glasses, like these folks at Panasonic, staring at something on a screen that you just can’t appreciate, until you put on your 3D glasses.
