A Response to Skype

This is a response to the computer program Skype. I take it for granted so much.


The program Skype, for those that don't know, is a program that allows you to chat with your friends or acquaintances you know. Way back in the day, I got a Skype account, but never had anyone to chat with, and didn't think much of it. Later, when I gained more friends, it became more relevant. I started to type to them all the time when out of school. Then, I learned that it also has a voice and video chat option. I was completely blown away at the time. It was a genius invention that I was glad I had on my computer. In college, it lost it's relevance, because all of my friends were close by, so I didn't really have a use for it anymore. The account sat unused for a while. Then, when I started to play online games and gain more friends through that, I found that they also had Skype accounts. Eventually, the use of Skype became almost completely necessary for us as a group to play games such as League of Legends. We all talked, strategized, and attacked as a team all with the help of this program. Just recently, I took a step back and thought about all the stuff I take for granted. Most of the things happened to be on my computer and my computer in general, but the biggest chunk I thought about the most was Skype. I knew people all over the states, even in Australia and Sweden, all because of games, and Skype made it possible to become real friends with these people. I've had many fun times with these people all because of Skype closing that gap between us. I love Skype. I wonder if they have a donate button on their site... They at least deserve some money for what they've done.
