You see the ads everywhere, live adult webcams, sex webcams, or dating webcams. Do people really use this technology to talk to people they don't know or even more - webcam sex? The answer is a resounding yes.

The webcam has been around for some years now, but with slow internet speed, the lack of other webcams, and the price it was mostly used for techie geeks with their high powered computers and speedy internet connections. That has all changed. The price of webcams and high speed connections have dropped, making this technology available for all of us.

Many people use this technology for when they are far from the one they love. It can be better then the phone because you are live. Couples use the webcams as a turn on and to have live webcam sex. Toys can even be bought that are controlled via the web. Ahh... technology. Beware though, the web is filled with tons of webcams of un-suspecting naked people. What happens to the webcam files if the relationship goes sour?

Webcams have made their way into internet dating. It is a little tougher to fake your picture with a live webcam video (unless you hire a model). Marriage webcams? You betcha! The infamous mail order bride has even made use of this new technology. Their are countless websites touting their live webcam girls who are looking for a husband. If this is what you are looking for - jump in, but just beware of possible scams.

Lastly the biggest jump in the webcam biz is for the use adult entertainment. Adult webcams are the fastest growing segment of the adult industry. Why? Well first of all it is live and real. You can pick who and when you want to chat to. There is actual contact with a person who can respond, much better then just watching a video. There are many sites around so just shop around.

Will webcams get better? I believe so. Quality will improve as new cameras come out and the old are phased out. It appears webcams are here to say, but then again so was the VCR....
