Anyone walking into my family room on Friday night would have found themselves in complete laughter. My husband was eagerly helping me experiment with Skype. After creating his own account we spent hours sitting across the room from each other skyping on our laptops. Of course Skype was not intended to be used by people in the same room, it was still fun to practice. We quickly found out of state family members that have Skype accounts and encouraged others to sign up. I can't believe it took me so long to get acquainted with this useful tool.
With all the recent media coverage of the earthquake that devastated Haiti, I found comfort in seeing the families that were able to see their loved ones through Skype. How fortunate we are to have this technology available free of charge to all.
I was also very amazed to see how many Maria Childs exist throughout the world. I guess I am not as unique as I had hoped!
