I needed to take a break recently and had been thinking about what activity I could do that would require little interaction and thought of tv, of course. The only problem was that there was nothing on at the time, then I remembered hearing mention and seeing the tv commercials about Hulu so I went to the site and checked it out. I think at the time I was looking for Two and a Half Men episodes, but they didn’t have full episodes on the website for the tv station so I was trying to find another place that might have it. Hulu didn’t, but it did have a whole lot of other shows I hadn’t seen in a long time. They had episodes of Simon & Simon, MacGyver, A-team, Remington Steele and a whole lot of the newer cartoon shows. I was really surprised by what was available. I spent a little time and enjoyed watching the first episode of Remington Steele again and that was fun, exactly what I needed. Brain relaxation, with no requirement for actual thought. I will definitely be going back to watch some of the other shows they have.

Obviously with the web conferencing, like WebeX you can hold a business conference but there is a lot more to it. If you have a large family, wouldn’t it be nice to see them all? How much would it cost to have a family reunion where family members lived in different parts of the world? Probably quite a bit. However, with a web conference you might be looking at forty and up to be able to see and talk with each other for awhile. Heck, it could even be a regular family thing to keep the family together and see what everyone is up to. I think there are even free online conferencing tools, although I don’t know how reliable or secure they are.

The other thing you could do is run a business, you know maybe put together some classes, advertise them and then set up a web conference to teach them. You wouldn’t have to go anywhere and you would be able to provide one on one instruction in most any subject you wanted. You could even provide counseling or coaching. You could discuss new ideas and concepts, or tutor people. There are a lot of possibilities with it. Heck with PayPal you could set up a pre-payment as well. Maybe have the classes ready and then once the payment hits your account you could begin, or however you wanted to work things. The chances are pretty good that by now you already have some ideas in mind.
