Skype


Skype runs on VOIP software and provides cheap and free phone calls. It was launched in 2003 and now boasts 663 million users mainly because of the value for money and the fact that it appeals more towards the older generation.
Skype doesn’t just allow for phone calls but also has the software for you to, again for free, video call your friends and family. This gives the whole phone call a more personal feel and encourages the older generation to use it as they get to see the rest of their family’s more often and see their grandchildren growing up if they are unfortunate enough not to live close by.
These pieces of software have helped the internet to develop socially because it allows everybody to have conversations without any limitations. They are used for anything from securing that all important deal in your office, having a friendly chat with someone or even group calling a number of people.
