Video calls on your TV

In the Mercury News today there is an article that talks about How Cisco is heavily investing in developing a way to video conference through your TV. It appears by their projections that they expect this technology to be used in the home as commonly as a phone. It makes me wonder, are we ready for a world where we're seen by whoever we are talking to? It's estimated that 60% of communication is non verbal, but through body language. What will I do now when a telemarketer calls me and sees that I'm not the mean person I pretend to be when I typically say "not interested" and quickly hang up? As a caution, if you end up adopting video calls into your home, please disable the auto answer feature.
