A webcam is a little camera conected to your pc through which anyone can see what kind of bad things you're doing at the moment. Peaking in a life of someone else, what's more exciting! The movie "The Truman How" about an innocent civilian (Jim Carrey) who does not know his life is being captured by camera's (www.truman-show), profits from the popularity of webcams. Student Joost Baaij loves webcams. We'll watch with him: "Mother of the webcam is the AnaCam (www.anacam.com). She has three camera's in her home, always conected to the internet. Ana laughs, eats, has sex, sleeps. Even more intimite is Cam@home in Amsterdam (www.people.a2000.nl/fvli00). Corrie & Rikkert show themselves as they are and ask for donations." How do you get a webcam? Joost:"You can buy these eyes at Connectix (www.connectix.com). You'll get some software to load the picture into your pc. In order to get the picture on line you can use SpyCam (www.netac.net/~waterbry/Spycam.html). It's freeware. If you have a camera, you can buy a videocapture card and connect it to the camera. Everyone who loves webcams can get in touch with others at Camcentral.
