Digital communication is completely different from in-person, face-to-face conversations. One will give you surface insights, and the other really gives you depth.
The fun thing about Snapchat is really the surprise and the joy that comes from learning how to use it.
I also love to surf the Net and talk on the phone with friends.
TV is no longer the best alternative to boredom. To kids not old enough for Snapchat, music is the best alternative to boredom. For Snapchat users, it's the best alternative to boredom.
The Internet links me to friends and family around the world. Skype rocks!
Our cellphones can do everything, but they're bad at letting us talk to each other.
Everyone talks about how we're on our phones all the time, but the fact remains that when I'm away on a film set for two months, I can Skype my family. I remember the phone calls my parents had to make when my dad was away for a while when I was younger - that once-a-week expensive phone call! The time pressure on talking to your father!
When she was in United States, we maintained contact, we talked to each other on the phone, almost every night. And there was one occasion I tried to fix this video conferencing but somehow it did not come out very well enough so better to talk on the phone.
And I also have a camera, a Web cam, and I have one at home, so I can hook up and talk to the girls, and they can see me while we're on the bus in the middle of nowhere.

For me, iPad 2 and tablets in general are really exciting from a front-facing camera perspective, making those short video clips where you're talking about where you are or what you're interested in, and your face fills up the entire screen.
When I get up, I usually have a missed call from either my sons or my wife. Every day we try to talk on FaceTime, try to talk after practice and stuff like that throughout the day. Try to stay in contact as much as possible.
I don't really like to go out that much. But when I do, I go to the movies, just hang out with friends. I go on Skype and iChat and just chill.
I do use FaceTime because I'm frequently isolated from friends and my boyfriend, so I get that.
I think you're much more approachable when you're on a small screen.
Skyping with your spouse works well enough, but apparently it is hard to get the kids to hang out on Skype for long.
