Advantages

  • can call across the world
  • cheap to use (if you are a subscriber)
  • brings societies together
  • has potential to be a great technology

 Disadvantages

  • need internet access
  • has a negative effect on outside world contact with others (just stay at home and chat with friends)
  • requirements to use it keep people from using it (computer, headphones, webcam)
