24 Hours Without Skype!!!!!



Skype is a very convenient internet software that makes long distance communication possible, easier, and cheaper. People, who have long distance relationship like me, may consider Skype as an important ways to keep the relationship go on. I, fortunately, have a fiancée, who I will marry this coming summer, in Vietnam, so Skype is our best way for me to communicate with her because it is free, webcam-calling available and high speed internet transfer. I spend average 10 hours per week days and more time for weekend on Skype. The reason that I choose Skype to give up for my 24 hours testing is that I used every day and two time per day. Moreover, for an accurate experiment, I have done 48 hours without Skype. I can tell you that it was a very difficult time for me because I have to suffer from my willingness of vision interact. I hate talking over phone and chatting without webcam because it limits the observation of mood expression. For the 48 hours, I called her by phone instead of Skype even though she didn't surprise at all for the first time because I usually call her by phone sometime I drive to school. However, she was a little upset that I didn't let her see me for two day, and I didn't feel so good as well. She told me that why should I have to obey the rule, I can cheat it easily by writing a fake report for this experiment, but I didn't want to because I also want to experience the feeling of going without internet. It wasn't easy to ignore using Skype when I am sitting on my computer have my smart phone with me. Therefore, I avoid using my computer and deleting Skype application in my phone. I couldn't really go on without communicate to her because this is a really important time that for two more month we will marry, so I purchase about 500 international calling minutes to make me available to call her whenever I want to. Even thought this is a good way to solve the problem, but I prefer webcam calling then only voice communicate. I thank to genius scientists, who invented telecommunication and worldwide internet that make communication available and easier for people around the world. In conclusion, without video communication, especially Skype life may become tougher for me at this time.
