Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on earth. But when you use the
phone, you don't see the person you are talking with. This may change in the near future.
Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two
people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show to the person you're calling. They may
have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you'll
be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your
picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you'll go to your phone
and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the thing you're interested in right over the phone. You'll be
able to shop all over town and never even leave your room!
