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.
