Skype. What a fantastic technology. For those who don't know, Skype is a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) system that allows phone calls through the internet to other Skype users for free, or to landline and cell phones for a nominal fee. I absolutely love the idea because I can call whenever I want from my room and I don't have to wait for a phone in the phone center. It is also great because of the privacy that it allows.
However, I hate Skype. For the past two weeks it has been very sketchy. I called my friend Luke two weeks ago and spoke for two hours, but I had to redial about every 10 minutes because it kept dropping my calls. When the calls don't drop I can hear others clearly, but they cannot hear me. Apparently, my voice goes in and out. It is very frustrating because people either hang up on me or 90% of the conversation is "say that again, I can't hear you." I'm downloading an update now. Hopefully, that will work. Gotta go, I'm about to head to my (worthless) morning meeting.
