Live Webcam Viewing

I came across a site that has live webcam viewing of many different things such as: parties, tricks, people's lives, dogs, etc. The site is called Ustream.tv but the most viewed one is about the lives of Shiba Inu Puppies. Here is the link Shiba Inu puppies live. I find this site cool because you can have a camera live and be at work, school, traveling, etc. and login onto this website from anywhere and see what's going on. If one were to have kids and wanted to leave them home and see what they are doing they can because there is a live camera on the web. This may be a bad idea for leaving the kids home alone, but it would be more ideal if it were an animal instead.
Recording a video from a webcam and having it live in the second world seems unbelievable to me. Both in second life and in the physical world you can see what is going on. This technology is new. A few years ago, there wasn't a site for a live viewing of whatever you want to post to show the entire world, or conveniently for yourself. It's amazing how technology has sped up so fast. Technology will only move forward and not backyards.
