My "skype" life
Hard to imagine that I rented
my first computer only just over 20 years ago, even harder to remember that
internet wasn’t much of a thing until about 10 years ago. When my mother passed away in 2009 I was
still calling most of my older relatives using the wonderful system of VOIP.
Today I skype.
And found it highly
entertaining to realize before I logged off last night that
There were 9 of my friends
online: two in southern France; one in the Philippines; one in Seattle,
Washington, USA; one in Dillingham, Alaska, USA; one in Huntsville, AL, USA;
One in Cuzco, Peru; one in Dubai; one even in my own village outside of Geneva,
Switzerland. If you count the “skype test call” which could be based anywhere,
I circle the globe with only two being in the same location.
Gives new meaning to
“globalization”.
