The modernization of almost everything has a major effect not only in the economy but also in making employment an easier matter. Years ago, many people travel abroad in seek of employment, and businessmen tend to buy plane tickets as often as they sleep just to attend meetings and conferences located in other states and countries.

Today, telepresence presents itself as an alternative to long distance travel. Telepresence is a technology using gadgets that may allow a person to feel as if he is in a location other than where he truly is. The gadgets may be computers with web cameras, a headset, and other technologies that may transmit the user’s action, voice, and position to another location thus giving the impression of his presence to the receiver of the transmission. Telepresence is different from virtual presence although they may rely on similar technologies for transmission. In virtual presence, the user is given the impression that he is in an enthused environment, while in telepresence, the user is interacting with another live and real location.

Telepresence plays a vital role in modern day businesses. It opens the gate of remote communications across the globe, which years ago, is not possible without the hassle of travelling. It also serves as an efficient, time-saving, and less costly way to conduct business meetings and conferences between people in different locations.
