Another poll question - Alien Cameras!

[mary_j_59]

My sister and I are having a bit of a debate. She hates the word "holocam", which sounds, to her, too much like something from Star Trek I rather like it. At least it makes clear that it's a camera, and from the future. But what do you think? Should I change this word? If so, to what?

No, you don't sound unreasonable at all! A funny thing about SF - I think everyone uses "ansible" now, because everyone knows what it means and it's such a useful concept. Though I'm not sure the same is true of "holocam", I'm keeping it for now. There will be time to change the word in final edits, if that proves necessary.

Thanks, as always, for your input and encouragement. :)
