Some people say that it is difficult to speak over the screen, but I think that it is better than nothing and I think that some of us are willing to improve their technology, perhaps to see what are some of the problems that the patient's face, or the doctor's face. I think that there is a market for it, to see if there are any loopholes. I encourage people to keep an open mind, especially since we are at the starting stage of these technologies, to kind of embrace them and give them a try to see whether it works out.
