Skype

1) The name of the technology that I am exploring for the second emerging technology is Skype.

2) Skype is a way to keep in contact with friends and family through computer phone calls, instant messages, and video chats for free. You are also able to call landline and cell phones for a small price.

3) Skype is relatively easy to use. Although the Skype guide has an accent, she can still be understood. It did not take me very long to set up my account, upload my picture, and start adding contacts.

4) I tried it out. I called my brother who is at ISU in Terre Haute. The video froze a couple times, but other than that, it was nice. He was glad to see me and his nephews.

5) The personalize tab is neat. You can add moods, messages, and videos for your friends and family to view.

  1. I like Skype. It is perfect for people who are always on the go and want to sit back and have a conversation with someone that is far from them.

  2. I feel Skype will be as widely used as computers are in the home. Soon everyone will be using this technology; because, it makes our world smaller. Thanks for sharing.
