If someone had asked me 10 years ago if i would be able to chat with my friends in real time over the computer I would have told them I highly doubt it. But today I can chat with friends and family around the world in places like India, Malaysia and the united states. It as allowed me to save on my long distance bills and keep up to date with what they are up to and them with me. I think this technology is brilliant and even when I am traveling I can log in to a computer and log into web messenger and chat with friends back home. I know that I will probably continue to use msn messenger just like many other people for many years to come and is the fastest and cheapest way to keep in touch with family and friends.
