Move over telephone!

Communication has always been, still is and will always be a very significant aspect of our world. The way we interact with the world around us plays a huge part in our lives. Most of our lives are based on communication and without it nobody would have been able to progress! Knowing how vital communication is humans have managed to come up with various ways to communicate with each other...even across large distances! A very good example of something that enables us to communicate over these distances is the telephone. A lot of us use it to communicate with the people we know and for a lot of us these people live far away! Telephones make our job faster and easier but as we continue to progress, a new technology has begun to emerge, it is known as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP)!

VOIP allows us to use computers to talk with people all over the world! If a number is dialed using VOIP it connects with a computer somewhere in the local area of the place being called and uses local phone lines to finish the job! This method is quite efficient and works very well! We tested it out for ourselves in class using a program called Skype.

VOIP is something all people with long distance communication needs should look at! It is sure to become much more popular in the future.
