The video flickered to life. The resolution was grainy, a low-bitrate stream from a webcam in a room that looked remarkably like his own. A woman sat in a chair, her back to the camera, typing away at a keyboard. There was no music, no performance—just the mundane sound of clicking keys and the distant hum of traffic.
The internet's openness also means that webcam users must be mindful of their digital security. Sharing personal content online can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, including privacy breaches or harassment.
