Skype is beneficial because it allows you to connect with
people through voice, video, and IM. Thi
shas both personal and professional benefits as you can keep in touch with friends
and family that are far away as well as conduct a meeting via video conference.
Additionally, there is a feature that allows for multiple people to be in the
same communication, which makes that video conference or connecting with both
your parents and your siblings (for example) at the same time very doable.
The advantages for VoIP are that the cost for service is
much lower than traditional phone service or wireless service. IN fact PC to PC
calls via Skype are free. There are also many services included in VoIP that
are free of charge, such as caller ID and call waiting.
The disadvantages are that you must have an internet connection
and power in order to use VoIP, which makes it unreliable in an emergency. Additionally, when calling 911, your address
is not automatically provided to the operator which can make communicating your
location challenging in some cases. Lastly, the call quality can be reliant
upon your internet connection and your PC or device, thereby providing more
potential variables affecting your communication.
