If one of the downsides of mobile devices like iPhones and Blackberries is to make quick responses to emails a bit slower, one thing we notice is what we call Skype Syndrome – the phenomenon where the incredible achievement of global video calls from phone to phone, pc to phone or pc to pc are potentially side tracked by an old issue. Possibility vanity or narcissism …or merely checking on our body language.

The issue?  Watching ourselves and not the person we are virtually (and magically) linked with.

Probably an unexpected consequence, and one that requires discipline to ignore, the ‘mirror’ when you are there on the screen too!
