Last Friday I was sitting at my desk waiting for a scheduled call (about my secret project) from one of our overseas collaborators. Instead I received a message from one of her co-workers letting me know she had been delayed.
A little over an hour later I received a message from 'S'. She had finally made it home. She had a flat tire on her way and though she was properly equipped, with a jack and a spare tire, she didn't know how to change it.
I empathized with her - explaining, "I wouldn't know how to change a tire either." I was glad she found someone to help and got home safely.
All of the above "chatting" was done via Skype.
I love technology! Isn't it wonderful to live in a world that allows us to "meet" and talk to people on the other side of the globe? (for free!)
