Skype

In an earlier post Predjudice, I mentioned a resource called Skype. I was made aware of Skype by a young college student who had just spent several weeks acting as host to a group of Korean students. Matt was charged with acclimating a group of 12 or so Korean students to the "social" life in Charlotte. After his assignment was over and his new friends went back to Korea, I asked Matt if he was going to miss them. His response was that he was going to miss them a little but it will be OK because he will Skype them. ?? Of course I had to ask and he explained the voice & video over the internet application and how it kept him in touch with overseas friends without paying for international calls. That's just cool.
