How Skype changed the world
Skype revolutionized the communication industry by providing free video chat and instant messaging services to the masses starting from 2002. This allowed people to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues regardless of their location, especially for those living far apart. The service also provided an affordable alternative to expensive video conferencing for businesses. Skype's influence can be seen in other popular communication platforms like Apple's FaceTime and Google's Hangout. As technology continues to evolve, the future may bring even more innovative ways of communication that enhance human connections.
