With the development of technology, physical letters and telegrams have gone into oblivion, and their place has been firmly taken by communication products that allow you to always be in touch with people who are territorially separated from each other at a great distance. And we are talking not only about e-mails, you can meet with relatives or friends in the format of video calls, or communicate via voice communication. The functionality of the program called Skype , which we want to present in this short review, is truly wide – the possibilities of conference calls, communication with visual contact with the interlocutor, as well as the usual correspondence in text format are now available at any time , of course, subject to an active Internet connection.
The Skype program provides the highest quality of the basics of remote communication familiar to many people. Emotionally “stingy” text can be revived with the help of stickers and emoticons, you can inform your interlocutors about your current mood through changing statuses, and if the subscriber does not have a cellular connection and the Internet, you can easily make calls to landline phones. True, the latter is possible if there is a sufficient amount of money on the account, but in any case it is much more profitable than tariffs for cellular communications. The cross-platform nature of the application allows you to gather within one conference people using the program on different devices, from computers on any operating systems to mobile platforms!
Some problems when using Skype as a video communication can only be faced by people using mobile gadgets with an outdated operating system (up to 2.2 inclusive), since they do not have the ability to use the front camera. An unpleasant moment, but given that there are very few such devices left in operation, the problem, to put it mildly, will gradually become obsolete. It is also worth warning that Skype is quite “gluttonous” in terms of RAM consumption – brakes are not ruled out on budget devices, although the developers are doing everything possible to eliminate this unpleasant moment by regularly releasing updates and patches for their product.
