* SKYPE *

Have you ever heard about Skype? or Have you ever use skype?. Well. I'll tell you, skype is free software that can enable you to chat with people around the world for free as long as they have internet connection and skype. And if both of you are have webcam you can use video as well.

Now, see this video about skype :)

What do you think after watch that video?

All right, I'll continue to write........

You can use your cell phone actually but you have to pay it, because skype is a software was design for communication between computer to computer.

Because of it is free; many people use this software not only for communication but also for business and learning. Yeah, you can speak or communicate with native speaker that you wish to learn that language. For example; you want to learn English, you just seeking out the ID user for native speaker that you want to chat. Then if your communicant also online you may chat and have fun learning. By this software you may ignore your anxiety because it is communication peer to peer and maximum chat only for five people. Interesting right !!!!

The feature also supports your needs those are:

• Calling: Between skype to skype, phones and mobile or conferences call.
• Messaging: You can send instant message, send files, text messaging, and Facebook news Feed.
• Video: You may use video calling or group video calling.
• Managing: Skype for business and skype for connect.

Skype is easy to use. I said that because after you downloaded the skype software, you may open skype and create account, after that you have to connect microphone and speaker also set a webcam* (optional). Then add a contact with whom you want to chat and the last is Let's take the interesting experience by calls or video calls. It is easy, isn't it?

I've mentioned that nowadays skype also use for learning. It is interesting for me because I learn L2 in the campus. I think by this software I can improve my English skills especially for speaking. I can communicate with native speaker, take online discussion with her/ him, of course I learn the right pronunciation, share information such as; docx, images, link, etc) and I think this is a learning tool for visual learner like me :)

This software also has advantage and limitation. Some advantages are; skype has high quality on voice, easy to use, free for PC, and by cell phone you can use skype anytime and anywhere. The limitation also happening in this software there are; You can not call emergency number (e.g. 911) because the setting for this software for PC. This software has high resolution and bandwidth, not all services for free for example; skype business and skype connect. If you want to use these feature you have to pay it. skype only can use if you are online (synchronous), skype is only for compatible mobile phone (Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson) and the last issue is deception of identity.

All right, now you know a lot about skype and hopefully this entry will be useful for you. For the issue in technology, Whatever it is Skype is a tool and you have to use it wisely!!!!!!
