I was just on a U.S. trip with family from abroad and found out that they all use Skype video calls. It was kinda hilarious and sweet, watching my 70-something Dad catch up with his siblings in Hong Kong and Canada over Skype. My Dad's hearing is failing, and his siblings' eyesight is failing. They were on Skype, yelling and squinting at one another.
The old folks all had their Skype set up by their kids or grandkids. I wanna set up my Dad now that I know his siblings are on Skype.
