In an age of ever growing technological advances, it seems inevitable that the spectrum of mediums for communication will continue to expand. The rapid development of said mediums seem to reach new realms of possibility.
To begin, Skype, an online video-chatting service, has developed a program in which you can now video chat on your mobile phone. A plethora of a cellular devices offer this new application, including, but not limited to, Blackberry, iPhone, and the Droid. The brilliance of video chatting is now made even more incredible with the added option of using your everyday cell phone as the medium to communicate.
Another radical medium for communication can be seen in online support groups. Long were the days of driving to an AA meeting, or to your church to sit in a circle with fellow widowers, listening to stories and sharing support. Instead, the idea of a support group is now easily accessible from the comfort of your own home, without having to do so much as getting out of bed. Additionally, the forum to discuss various issues is now no longer limited to a designated time, but instead readily available at any time of day or night.
Finally, BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) is seemingly taking the world by storm. The advantages of BBM versus "old school" SMS Text Messaging, include free messaging, (only among other BlackBerry users) even in foreign countries. In addition, you are not limited to the standard 160 characters of typical SMS, and you are now able to send pictures, sound files, and even movies across the air. In addition, you can get status updates from your BBM contacts, as well as organizations and companies, offering a plethora of information. "Kik", another messenger company, has attempted to recreate this appeal by developing their own version of BBM, available only among smart phone users.
