Skype
[SUMMARY—MediaSnackers youth contributor Jess discusses Skype.]
(WORLD) Communication is vital for everyone, but more so it seems for teenagers, with nothing better to do than talk to each other for hours on end after they've seen their friends for 6 or so hours at school! Communicating with friends has been made all the more easier through the use of a new(ish) invention called Skype. Skype allows Internet users to talk to each other through microphone, totally free of charge for an unlimited time. There has recently been a big inflow from my friends, asking if I have Skype, so I can talk to them through these means.
VOIP (voice over internet protocol) is perhaps the future of communication. Does this spell the end of the telephone? Even years ago, when mobile technology started to become more popular, many people chose to use landlines, but with the introduction of talking over the Internet, could this be on the way out? Even more so now, as nearly everybody in the UK has Internet access.
