Conference Call or Concall in short is a word many of us got used to hearing day in and day out. Some might even get signs of phobia hearing the word because nowadays, it often means nothing but tedius business meeting involving many parties across several time zones, worst of all - carried out in wee hours.
I took a call today, not the most interesting one I must admit, but someone reminded all of us in the call how the function first came about.
I first encountered conference call (and call-waiting) towards the end of the 80s and it was a cool thing to brag about having one installed at home. We would spend hours on the phone gossiping and I even remember setting up a trap to make a classmate admit in the call that she was in love with someone. That someone was in the call all that while -smirking without making a sound on the other line! I thought to myself - what a wicked way to utilise that conference call function!
Nothing much has changed, I mean, conference calls can still be fun. Everyone has a part to play in a conference call, else we wouldn't be in there. We just have to remind ourselves to enjoy a bit more in our next concall.

A phone call is a phone bring in which somebody converses with a few individuals in the meantime. The telephone calls might be intended to permit the called gathering to take an interest amid the call, or the ring might be set so that the called party simply listens into the call and can't talk. It is here and there called ATC (sound video chat).
