Gentlemen as some of you are aware, there are wire service photographer's 
who use a back pack transmitter attached to their digital cameras that as 
soon as they trip the shutter a photo editor a zillion miles away has the 
photo on screen as it's taken.

Then given what he sees on screen he can direct the photographer to 
immediately shoot more or to move to the left or right for "what might 
produce a better angle" without being there.

Now sometime down the line we'll all be able to use this technology if one 
is so inclined. You wont have to send post cards from holiday spots because 
you'll be able to phone and say... "Wish you were here!" And the person 
looking at their screen will see it just as fast as you trip the shutter.

OF course I suppose one can do this today with a camera cell phone. Oh well 
it's a fast lane world out there these days so becareful where you point yer 
cell phone digi camera! ;-) You never know who might be looking on the other 
end.;-)
