I love Skype, but...

Things you never had to think about in the old days: My brother's calling! I'd better quick put on a bra!

Really, I'm not sure about this whole video-phone thing, for that reason ALONE.

There really is that whole element of "what the hell do I look like right now??" XD

NOBODY CAN MAKE ME USE A WEBCAM. NOBODY.

I probably wouldn't if not for the nephew. :D

So true!

On the plus side: "My boyfriend's calling! I'd better quick take off my bra!"

I MEAN, I'VE NEVER DONE THAT EVER...

BWAH!

But I don't WANT the person at the other end of the line to know I'm rolling my eyes at them! XD

There used to be tons of jokes like that in the 60s when they talked about the future and videophones. You'd have to worry about what you looked like before you answered the phone.

And now The Future is here!

I don't actually worry about what I look like when I'm Skype. I'm never naked or anything, but if it's night and my bra is off and I'm in my pjs, I don't care. Neither does my brother, who's usually paying more attention to whatever he's browsing than me. The only other person I really talk to on Skype is a friend of mine and we just don't care.

I can see where it'd be an issue for others, though. Because seriously, what if you were naked and your like, mother called you?

Which gives me this hilarious idea of Rose showing Ten.5 how Skype in Pete's World works. It would have to involve Jackie, somehow, I'm thinking...

BWAH!!!!!!!

BWAH!!! And also, AWWWW. I could see them Skyping each other if they ever had to spend a long time apart. Like maybe a few hours.

Oh my god, Skype conversations are the worst. They just go on and on.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I usually don't have a problem with that.

[identity profile] goldy-dollar.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
LOL maybe that was just me.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Of course about 90% of my Skyping these days involve watching a tiny person toddle around and blow kisses.

AWWWWW! Do you have webcam pictures? :D

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think to take any last night. I'll have to try and remember!

[identity profile] beck-liz.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, see, that's why I've been resistant when anyone mentions the possibility of using the webcam feature on my laptop. Video phoning technology is very, very cool, but it is rather nice to not have to dress properly to talk to someone sometimes, you know? :-)

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The trade-off for phoning a kid is worth it though. :D

[identity profile] audrich.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!!!

I'm so very glad I do not have a webcam :D

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be a hazard. :D
