Quote:Imagine that you are talking with someone via Skype with a microphone and a camera. There is no purpose to sign your name with your hand on some kind of a touch-screen every time before you start. Your face is your signature. Your face is the proof that, well, it is you on the other side. In case that you are contacting someone who does not know you, there can surely be a programme that keeps your name and organization tag, your ID or whatever, next to your picture on the screen, so they know who they are talking with. But certainly not a hand-written signature, unless the message is textual.
But this isn't Skype/Chatroulette/ICQ. I can think of many Sci-Fi series or movies where video transmission have such overlays. No, it's not necessarily realistic or functional, but that's why it is Sci-Fi. Science and Fantasy. I agree, tho, a handwritten signature is weird.
But then again, this is hardly the thread to discuss about people's forum post layouts.
