How+Does+Technology+Impact+You

What do you think of all these new ways of communicating with others? It seems that most of us have embraced cell phones as a means of communication, and some have gone as far as to cancel their local phone service. I haven't come to that point yet. I shudder to think how much it would cost in overage time when I call an 800 number to talk to a service representative and get stuck on hold for nearly an hour. It's pretty bad from a local phone line when all I am wasting is my time, but I'd hate to be burning through my monthly minutes. Has anyone cancelled their local service? If so, how is it working for you.

Also, what do you think about blogging, wikis, myspace, podcasting? Is anyone using these technologies for personal use? How about Skype? Has anyone used the internet to connect with someone in another country for free????? Do you have a camera set up on your computer so you can see the person you are communicating with?
