Why do people Skype? Are they shy or more content with staying at home. Not meant in a sarcastic way, btw.
Skype allows us to communicate with people from all over the world.
The beauty of online chatting is that you can discuss things that actually interest you.
I find most people in real life boring to chat to because their interests don't usually match mine. Most of my interests are considered socially taboo. I think many people would find certain things that interest me a little too disturbing for their taste, which could make life for me very uncomfortable if they decided I was a threat to them or society in general. On the internet I can talk about those things more openly while relatively maintaining some anonymity.
