Skype? Really???

That is ancient technology. Which very few people use anymore these days.

Skype. Right up there with 35mm cameras.

Skype is the worst online calling software on the planet. On a scale of 1 to 10, it is a zero.

Skype gave birth to several video communication sites.

I use FaceTime at the grocery store to call my wife and make certain I'm getting the obscure product she asked for. She uses Skype and Facebook Messenger to talk to her family in Russia, saving hundreds on what used to be our long distance phone bills. I use multiple services when I'm on deployment to talk to my family.

Skype and the comparable services that followed it have been incredibly important and are used by many people across the globe.

I think the emphasis was more on the way Skype changed international phone calling (and not its current unpopularity).

Yep, they left out digital photography and software.
