Ah.. the telephone. Back in the day it was the main way to communicate. I could simply call up a friend and talk for hours with them. I didn't generally talk that long, but none the less, I could if I wanted to. Today, the home telephone seems almost obsolete to the competition of social networks, cell phones and the internet. Today most cell phones allow internet access and access to social network sites from their phones. But one program takes talking on the telephone to the extreme. Skype seems to be the new way to talk your friend face to face or computer to computer. Skype is just one of the examples of culture convergence of this time but has proven to be very effective among separated families and friends. Its become a great combination of the computer, telephone and video technology that is sure to grow in the future. Soon other bussinesses will one day fight and compete to possess this technology. I expect this technology to one day converge with the phones in the United States for a new, better way to communicate with each other. Possibly one day, this program will take the place of the telephone and become the main way to talk to each other.
Heres skype's website. Check it out. It's not disappointing.
