Best way to keep in touch?

[Abs]

Yesterday, I asked about apps on our mobile devices to see how trends are changing with the all new smartphone world. 

Just building on that... which do you think will be the most popular way of keeping in touch in 2015 – would it be email, SMS, instant messaging, facebook, a 3D phone call, skype, or something new?

Defo not carrier pigeons, right?

Verbal communication has been around in the human species since........well even the experts aren't certain but estimates are between 25,000 and 50,000 years ago.

I don't think SMS, email, IM or facebook will ever be as popular so some type of voice comm. will always be the preferred method.

If it's handled properly I can see 4G working well, if as here you can have broadband without a phone line:

Taking the line out should reduce the number of possible faults considerably.

I'm hoping O2 are beavering away in the background not to be left on the starting blocks here.

Whatever, I think services like Skype will do well.

Skype is an amazing lifeline for me, so much more than just a phone call. Had a guided tour of my son's new apartment in Berlin this morning, just by him wandering around with the laptop.:smileyhappy:
