Skype Effect

The Skype.....                                                                           Effect!

So, I've had long distance relationships in my past.  Who hasn't...?  And man is it amazing to live in a time and place where Skype exists.  I mean.... you get to see, talk, and travel anywhere with your computer or phone and communicate with the people you miss and love.  Some people sit down to dinner, sing songs, or even have sex over the Skype Network.  Although some people would argue that Skype takes the romance away from long distance phone calls and letters.  I would have to call BSSSSSSS, because much like Skype is taking the romance of calls and letters, I am sure that some amazing new technology will come along and steal the thunder from Skype chatting.

But let's get into the reason of this bloggity.  The Skype Effect, a phrase I have tried to coin over the years with little to no success, is when you spend months chatting on skype with your significant other and when you finally get to see them in person there facial features seem distorted.  Now, it might just be me..  But I think this Skype Effect is caused by the long term exposure of seeing someone on a 2D scale and then all of a sudden seeing them in person in 3D... This can confuse your brain and your eyes might have trouble focusing for the first hours of seeing someone after months of chatting over Skype.  Anyways, just thought I would share this interesting thought on such a great technology.
