VOIP now and then
Seven years ago, when I was back to my hometown and the big boy was still living in CA, we kept in touch with IM, email and phone calls for three years until we decided to get married.
During the first year of the separation, we discovered that there were VOIP calls services online in Beta stage, we tried out a few of the services. But the noise was so bad, even with the noise canceling headphones, we couldn’t figure out what each other said most of the time.
This time that we are separated again, the VOIP technology has improved tremendously and becomes much cheaper than the conventional long distance calls. Even without using the noise canceling headphones, we can hear each other crystal clear. In fact, the noise canceling headphones have been lying there collecting dust this days.
