Your anecdote doesn’t seem to convey that camera usage is not important, but it does show that it’s not necessary.
It’s possible, I’d guess likely, that you’ve been able to get work done well in spite of no cameras.
Of course, I doubt anyone would do an experiment to see if your statement is true or not.
I just thought that your statement seemed so absolute but the evidence you present isn’t.
- andrewzah 5y agoWhat I'm saying is the assumption that cameras are necessary is just that- an assumption, and basically just an opinion. Not fact or even something that people are backing with empirical evidence. We're not getting work done "in spite of" no cameras. We're getting work done, period, and don't have to deal with the fatigue of having a webcam on all the time.
- prepend 5y agoI agree with you about necessary. I don’t think cameras are necessary. But I disagree with you because I think they are important and useful. Combining them into a single statement with an and is what makes the disagreement. Perhaps you could get even more work done with cameras on when communicating with people. Just feeling fatigue doesn’t seem like a reason to turn off cameras. I feel fatigue from working, yet I do it.
- jimmaswell 5y agoDo you have hard evidence that cameras increase productivity? I find them nothing more than a distracting frivolity in the workplace.
