If you want to get that little bit more out of your internet experience, why not get a webcam? Basically, a webcam is a tiny video camera which sits on your desk. Its main use is to let other people see live TV pictures of your over the internet. If a friend also has a webcam, you can create a simple videophone system, so you can see each other as you chat.

Webcams have lots of other uses as well. They can take still pictures for attaching to emails and for publishing on your Website. Some even contain their own batteries and can be untethered from the computer to double as digital cameras.
