One of the outcomes that really surprised me is that computer manufactures still haven't really caught up - a lot of computer shops were inundated with orders for webcams, because their stand-alone monitors didn't have them built in. And guess what, they still don't (many shops here don't stock any monitors at all with built-in webcams, and many don't even have speakers). There's no reason any desktop computer these days shouldn't come basically standard with everything needed for teleconferencing - webcam, mic, speakers etc.
