I’ll skype you” is quickly replacing, “I’ll email you,” which ousted “I’ll call you.” Before any of these, of course, came “I’ll send a telegram,” which was supplanted by “I’ll write you.” The need to extend face-to-face communication launched industries around distance messaging, and Skype joins this chorus of change with a “voice” that resonates through the Internet.
Skype, however, is not just another way to say hello. Skype combines the power of email, telephony, telegrams, and letters by providing an avenue for text, data, voice, and even video communication. Skype reaches across oceans but has tools to make the experience intimate. You can exchange files as easily as handing someone a piece of paper. You can see eye-to-eye through video conferencing. You can convene a group of friends with ease. Millions of people are discovering all this versatility with Skype. Skype For Dummies makes it easy for you to join them.
