There seems to be a progression one goes through after every purchase of a computer-connected camera.

1. Hey, I can video conference people!

This started at least as early as Doug Englebart's demo, and received another boost with the Intardweeb and cuseeme (which is now commercial, surprisingly enough), before reaching ubiquity with the current crop of instant messaging systems and iChat/AV, Yahoo!, along with free or nearly-free USB cameras.
