These days you can never be sure of the weather. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. The past days have been extremely rainy as typhoons have been passing the country one after another. Thus, most of the flights have been postponed if not cancelled altogether. Even most offices have declared for most of their employees to just work from home instead of putting their employees in danger especially during the travel from home to work and back to home again. Employees have to understand that business has to keep on going even under extreme circumstances. Thus, most have used web conferences for meetings and communication as most phone lines are cut. Good thing the internet is up and ready for most which has enabled people to work from home.

Actually, the internet was the only means for communication for the past couple of days. Those who were trapped on the roofs of their homes were able to communicate via the World Wide Web. Some were even interviewed via web conferences. That is why you see people being interviewed even when they were already on the roof of their homes.

This has certainly placed the importance of the internet and web conferencing in a whole new light as you can use them as tools to save your life. Although, web conferences are most often used for meetings and presentations, trainings and even classroom teachings as nobody is advised to go out of their homes now. All you got to do is to log on using your computer and connect with other participants via the web.
