Do you have a webcam? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)3 years ago

When you chat on yahoo, msn or aol do you have or use a webcam??

I actually try to avoid using mine or even turning it on. It seems like whenever i meet someone new and we are chatting and stuff it is all good. I like to keep a good conversation and every time i turn my cam on it all changes. To can you stand up for me, can you show me more, and all that blah! I don't appreciate when men try to hold ys as sex objects it really annoys me!

I do not own a webcam.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

Well they can be a big benefit to have at times when identity clarification comes to mind. Anyone can show you a photo on the net and be lying. To me a webcam is identitu clarification!


myLot reputation of 88/100. meeming (2056)  3 years ago

Yes definitely webcam is a benefit. Especially when you have family members abroad or in another country. The only way to see them is thru using webcam and even talk to them for free at either yahoo or msn. As for me, yes! i do own a webcam and i enjoy using it and chatting to a few friends on yahoo messenger.:)

well what you said is write but even people indulge themselves in a bad activity by using web camera.Any way i would like to have a webcam but i don't and i need to have it and i will but it soon from the money i get from mylot.

i do have a webcam and i use it, but sparingly.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

I also use mine spaingly! I do not liek to turn it on very often at all. It is great for clarifying ones identity though when you are chatting with soemone on the net!


myLot reputation of 75/100. ashraine (160)  3 years ago

yeah im using it also very rarely..
if needed only for photo sharing.. or family matters..
=)

i havent had a cam becoz lack of money. but when one time a person who i chatte to proposed me to buy one i agreed. and since then i always chat with webcam. it is really great much better than with nothing. and the best is webacm + microphone. it seems like i talk face to face.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

That is kool to use a cam and mic and it definately makes it that much more personal!

It is good i share cam with my older sister! A few odd online friends and i lie to everyone else half the time and say i don't have one!!!


myLot reputation of 72/100. Willowlady (8982)  3 years ago

It is good to protect ourselves. Thanks for responding to my response.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

I agree fully that a webcam is almost one of the best ways to identify someone and it can sort if be a form of protection when chatting online!

 
6. myLot reputation of 74/100. biratm (160)   3 years ago

ya i like using cam butin proper way not in valgur way n tell someone that can u stand up a little more and show me your body that is totally wrong..


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

I agree it is wrong and very degrading to me. Especially when they hold a great conversation until they see me and that is the end of Mr . Nice Guy but oh well!

I know exactly what you mean. It gets very annoying . I mean almost everytime i turn my webcam on all that a guy wants is for you to perform for him on it. This isn't right and is very degrading.

 
8. myLot reputation of 70/100. nayand (155)   3 years ago

I have a handy cam which worked once but now it is giving some problem. It is nice to have to see ur friend his room or his family its nice.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

They are great for family for sure!!! My older sister and i chat with our webcams all the time. I also turn mine on for a few friends the real friends that talk to me to talk to me.

 
9. myLot reputation of 12/100. tokster (158)   3 years ago

myLot reputation of 90/100. pimponel (275)  3 years ago

Are you also aware that someone you are chatting to that has the right tools can also turn on your webcam without you even knowing? I have seen this done and found it very scary! All they have to do is send you an email or an attachment with an embedded "trapdoor" and they can gain access to the camera. I have always advised anyone with computers to not keep it in their bedrooms if they can help it for these very reasons.....

I don't have a webcam at all and don't plan to get one either. Not because of the reasons above, I am just so used to not having one that I see no need.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

Wow...I can feel my heart sinking as i read this! I had no idea that their was anyway for this to ever happen. That is scary and i for one have my computer in my bedroom! Is there anyway that you could possibly know if such a thing was happening to you?? Thank you for informing me and now i think i will disconnect it all together!!!


myLot reputation of 98/100. James72 (6960)  3 years ago

I am not sure if you are able to tell if it has happened before, I just know for a fact that it can be done..... It is definitely scary and it is my pleasure informing you or anyone else of this because it is horrifying to think that your personal space could be invaded like this without someone's knowledge. I do understand though that it is only when the computer is actually switched on and active though; I don't believe that a webcam can be switched on remotely if the pc is not in use.....


myLot reputation of 98/100. carlaabt (3164)  3 years ago

I have heard that before. I still keep my webcam plugged in, though, and I just turn it to face the back of my desk. That way if I don't want someone to see me, they can't.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ronita34 (2098)  3 years ago

That really sucks that a person would have no way of knowing but i do however that the thought of this definately is a scary one. That is a huge breach of privacy and i had no idea that this could even be done!
