On the other hand, when you have have a video call instantly and practically for free this looks like a very self-indulgent expense. Not exactly the eco-friendly option either.

In what possible way is a video call equivalent to international travel?

Seriously, I could start listing the things you can accomplish with one and not the other and I would never run out of steam.
