bemused

why is it that, when talking to friends and family *on skype, we inevitably spend a disproportionate amount of time talking *about skype?

i realize now what the first telephone conversations must have been like:

"can you hear me?" (if you're my mom: "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!!!")

"isn't this cool?"

"yeah. can you say that again? you're voice isn't coming through clearly."

"sorry, the call got dropped."

plus ça change, eh?
