I once had humpback whales answering my phone (their sounds); some people
left messages saying I was sick.  I would guess that in the future,
I could have video images of the whales, their sound, and titles
superimposed telling the caller to leave a message.

Most people fought the video-phone because of their too literal
interpetation: two people looking at each other.  Instead,
video-phones could open up a mulitude of possiblities:
	-vido-monitor: call from anywhere and see the 'site'
	-video-fax & image-capture: see & snap.
	-video catalog & junk mailer: hm.
	-video 976-HOT-MOMMA: (no, honestly, i never call those
		numbers except for pure research!)
