Additional features include instant messaging,file tranfer and video conferencing.
Skype was introduced in August 2003 but in January 2006 Skype introduced videoconferencing for the Windows and Mac OS X platform users. On 13th march 2008 Skype 2.0 was released for Linux. This version of Skype also features support for videoconferencing. Skype starting from version 3 designed for Windows supports high quality video with amazing features such as full screen and screen in screen modes that is similar to that of mid range videoconferencing systems.
The person who use this sofware can get many advantage.One of the advantage is to gain many friends from different country,culture and gender.We can share opinion and new important information with them.Skype also can help us to release tension.Its is because while chatting,we can enjoy chatting and videoconferencing without thinking about our problem for awhile. Beside that,students like us can save money because skype also offers free calls to landline and mobile phone.So we can call our beloved parents and friends.
As a conclusion,we must explore more about skype especially us as a student in UPMKB. As new generation, we must use the technology that exist in Malaysia to prevent us become the passive generation.
