If you want to get to know somebody who lives far away from you, sending a bunch of short videos back and forth to one another seems like an outdated approach. With so many social media outlets to choose from, it is now longer a pain-in-the-ass to get in touch with friends living anywhere in the world. Hell, even sending a basic email is by far an easier method than shooting, editing, and sending a video to someone, and then waiting for a response.
