Live on the Web


Before, people would only talk to each other by phone without seeing each other. Today, we have technology such as Skype and the new iPhone 4 Live Chat. We now have the resources to chat with someone via satellite. Instead of dialing a phone number to speak to someone, you can now get on at the same time through the internet and see each other!!

A well known website that allows tou to video chat with others is Skype. Skypce came around about two or three years ago. It "sky rocketed" with users within the first few months it was out. People finally found a way to video chat with friends and others. Yes, one could use the webcam while using there instant messaging, but it it not the same as Skype. Skype allows you to see the other person in a bigger picture and format and you can just talk to each other as if you were face to face. In instant messaging, the audio would sometimes fail and therefore would have to continue chatting through instant messaging but still seeing each other.

The new introduction of the iPhone4 has everyone wanting one. This iPhone allows you to video chat with someone else that also has the iPhone 4. That would be the only downfall the phone has for video chat. The only advancement that this iPhone has over Skype is that you can video chat anywhere. For example, you can be on breka from work or in your car driving somewhere and still have a live chat with someone. That is pretty AWESOME!!! However, in order to reach to Skype level, everyone would have to own the iPhone 4.

There are so many ways of communicating with someone through technology. Video chats have become popular throughout the years and I believe it will survive for ever.
