As stated in the video, Skype offers many benefits. It offers a safe feeling that comes with online experieces, as described by Turkle (page 249). She describes how online experiences can offer a personal interaction with the safety of distance. Skype offers an even more personal experience by face to face interaction.
Skype can also be said to be a step in the future. Rosen states that messengers like Skype are most used by what he dubs the "iGeneration", a generation he claims can use the site at the age of five. This brings up with question of who a five-year-old skypes. With the modern community becoming less local and more global, it is important to have a means off communication, especially a free one. With Skype offering a free, more personalized interaction, it is easy to see how it has become not only popular but a big step into the future.
