Technology that has impacted my life!

Hi!!
All technology is evolving every single day and and rapidly changing to fit the lives of many different types of people with different job types and life styles.  Something to fit the ordinary everyday person who all the stresses in the world that come along with being human.  All technology has enhanced my life in some way and for the most part in a good way.  I would have to say that Skype has really taken the cake in this race.  It helps me stay connected with the people that i love.  One of the main reasons why i have chosen this technology to be the greatest impact on my life is because it was such a life saver when my brother was over in Iraq and on his base in Texas.  It gave my family and i a sense of calmness when we saw him and knew that he was ok.  It gave a chance to talk with him about things that were going on that he wanted to talk about or things that we needed to send him that he and his platoon could use.  It was just really nice to be able to see his face and feel like he was physically here with us and im sure that he felt like he was closer too by seeing us on the computer.  Hopefully it gave him comfort to know that we love him and pray for him and his men everyday and night and wait for the day that they come home safe.  I also use Skype to talk to my friends in other states going to college or living in another destination.  There are only a few girls and guys that i have kept in touch with since i graduated high school.  It's nice to be able to talk to them and see them in their destination.  I sometimes get jelaous because i have a friends who lives in LA and she skypes with me while she is on the beach.  While it is freezing and rainy here, she was sitting on the beautiful beach at 80 degrees watching the waves and surfers come in. I then relized that one day i hope that is me.  The nice thing about Skype is that it can be done from anywhere and even though my sister doesn't live out of state i can still skype with her even if she was in the next room.  Skype has affected my life in many different ways and it has all been for the better and I am so happy that this technology was invented before my brother enlisted with the Army because it made our lives just a little bit easier and hopefully his too to deal with the seperation for the long periods of time.
