I remember overseas calls having a huge lag. Now I can call across and works and chat with perfect audio and video. I think we’re romanticizing the past and failing to recognize the ways in which calls are so much better.

Nothing can avoid the speed-of-light lag, but full-duplex and things have made it certainly better.

It's very noticeable on globe-spanning links (which is where video actually starts to help because you can use the silent visual cues).
