Today something very interesting happened. Our friend Colleen has arrived in Kathmandu and we had a Skype video call. Now, that might seem very usual in the connected digital age but talking to friends face to face that are almost 4 timezones away just gives me a big smile in my face :-) ...
Just the fact that we have come so far that we finally can see our friends and family when talking to them is enough to amaze me. Maybe because I still know that this was just a very futuristic idea when I grew up. I welcomed the idea but was more concerned with the available digital devices like my digital wrist watch with calculator.
Having video-called Colleen when she was in the United States, Dublin and now in Nepal is just a wonderful way of staying in touch. So I must confess that I have become quite impressed about all the new ( and improved) ways we have connect to each other and hope that this development will go on so maybe someday you can beam yourself towards the person you want to speak with. Who knows what we think of next :-)....
Never tried a video call ?.... Just test it for yourself = http://www.skype.com
