What are things you can do today because of technology that you couldn't do five years ago?

My sister and I had a lengthy conversation using our Skype chat feature the other day. It was great because we tend to have an irritable inflection in our voices which often leads to huge arguments plus we don't have to worry about hearing each other over our yelling kids. But that's not the only reason I love Skype. We pay about $50 for our Skype phone number which means we can receive calls from regular phones. It also allows me to keep in touch and chat with the rest of my family which is spread very far apart and in different countries.We can even enable video chat so the other party can see us. I love that I don't have to pay for separate phone service apart from my internet so it is a very economical choice for us. You don't have to purchase a phone number and can use the service for free amongst other skype users. But if you intend on using it as your home phone you will need to buy a number. It also has features like call forwarding and Skype to go. I think this is such great technology, and I am so glad to have it.
