Vonage!!!!! (And Why I Have It Really Easy)
I went to the market yesterday and got the needed plug adapter, and now the vonage is hooked up and working! I called my parents and my grandmother last night, it was pretty cool.
It's pretty amazing technology. After I hooked everything up I picked up the phone and heard the usual dial tone. I dialed my parents' number just like I was back in the states, and we talked as easily as over a normal phone. I was worried that it would be choppy or low quality, but it was perfectly fine.
It made me think of how easy I have it nowadays. I can contact anyone I want through email at any time I want. Shoot, now I can call anybody like I was a mile away from them.
How much harder overseas workers had it a few years ago. No internet, no vonage, and if you go back far enough, no phones. The only way to communicate with people from home was letters, which took months to get to their destinations.
Anyway, just a thought...
Vonage...a really good idea among several really bad ones...like storing bananas in the drawer.
