    Which is only possible because of this magic technology to let you see and talk in near real time to anyone, anywhere. Used to be that if your sibling / parent / other family member wasn’t in town, you couldn’t see them in real time at any time, usually just a single / couple times a year at holidays.

    Sure calling was a thing, but it’s just different when you can see someone.

      Working from my bedroom in the US while seeing and speaking to a fellow developer living in Pakistan is really quite awesome.
