Through the connection, they were able to share information about fabric design changes in real time. A full voice, data and video conference was conducted across the cellular connection. A digital cellular connection can occur in many regions of the world, even where land lines are non-existent. Perhaps the most significant phenomenon to occur in the PC industry and communications industry in the past ten years is the Internet. Now every PC becomes a window through which users can connect to every other computer in the world.
Computer users meet now on the Internet to exchange ideas and opinions by typing to each other.
But personal computers are becoming powerful enough to handle natural data sound, pictures and video and can become much more intuitive to use. To demonstrate this point, Clovis Casali, a young French student, played an interactive multiuser version of Monopoly which performs in multiple languages simultaneously between the players and even automatically converts the Monopoly currency. Clovis then entered a chat window on his home page on the World Wide Web to talk to his friends rather than send them typed messages. He was joined by two other youths who were represented in the space as talking heads. The graphical representations of their faces had full lip synchronization capabilities while talking in real time.
