Okay, so it has been like a million bajillion years since I last updated this thing, and I will do all that necessary updating at a later time, but this post is dedicated strictly to my digital media class here at college. Out web post assignment for this week is about "blogging" and since I've had one of these for quite some time now, I figured I could just post it here and then copy and paste!
So our blog has to be about something to do with media or something we talked about in class. I have a personal interest in the stuff we were talking about on Friday, which was about VoIP and stuff like Skype and all those fun things we use to keep in touch with people! The reason for my personal interest is because these sources have helped me in my relationship with my boyfriend (now fiance). Since he is in the Air Force, we don't get to see each other a lot, or even talk to each other that much. He is currently at an overseas base in Germany and has gone through one deployment already. Had it now been for things like cell phones or Skype, or even Tokbox for that matter, it would be A LOT harder to keep in touch with him. I even thank God for these breakthroughs in technology, for giving the people the right knowledge to develop these new innovations that help us to do everything we do today.
Our parents and grandparents are amazed at the ways we can now keep in touch with people, how we can video chat with someone who is on the other side of the world, or pick up the phone and call someone in California and have it cost nearly the same as it would if I were calling the person next to me. The revolutions in the VoIP and wireless areas have been a true blessing to me, and every other military couple in the United States :)
