Skype Thoughts...

Skype is special to me, as I relate it to my nieces who I adore and get to see more often through Skyping! (They live all the way in Louisiana.) 

It was really interesting to do it during class, and if you think about it, SO AMAZING  that we have this technology to help us pull off such a feat of communication!  So I appreciate it.
I also will not lie...I love not traveling into the city on a Skype night.  It is a great break for me.

That said, I think video would help.  You miss that in-persona interaction and ability to read and connect with people visually.  I would like to see us try a conversation with each other using the video component and see if it works.  This seems like a natural progression for us.

The technical glitches were less bothersome to me.  It was not as easy to engage, though.

Thanks for the opportunity to mention my thoughts...Shan
