Webcam Hellos

I’m in a travel-related Facebook group, and someone posted that their child noted the location of webcams trained on a street or inside a building before they left, told their parent when they would be at that location, and then went and “checked in” by waving at the webcam. So, if their parent went on the webcam at the same time, they got to see them and know they were okay. It’s how they’re traveling with limited data and still able to communicate that they’ve reached their next location. In the post I saw, the boy stood, waving at the camera in front of Abbey Road in London.

I thought it was a fun idea for anyone to do with people back home. You can use Earth Cam to find webcams in your location. Aren’t humans clever?

That’s a fun idea for travelers! Where are the Webcams at the twins’ schools? They need to pop by occasionally for you!
