The concept of Skype was introduced by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis in the year 2003. It
enables the users to talk face to face on video call to friends and family. You can use it to organize
office meetings free of cost. Using Skype, you can communicate with a person residing in some other
country. To call on Skype, you need to have a skype account. It has features like video call, voice call,
and instant messages. You only need an Internet connection. Skype uses a technology called voice
over IP or VoIP, which sends your voice, inserted into the computer via microphone over the Internet.
Skype can be used to join an online meeting, conduct an interview, online classes and you can connect
with anyone from anywhere with Skype web. You can host/hold a video meeting or audio conference
with a maximum of 50 members at one time. You can also record your on-going meeting/call, can have
live captions and subtitles like a movie or just chat.
The key features of Skype are as follows:
Skype translates the conversation in real-time if the person is talking in a different language.
It is a safe way to have conversation with people without any interruption.
You can share your screen to train someone.

E-BANKING
The technology has paced many steps. We can now transfer money online from one bank account to
another. In earlier days, cheques were used to transfer money and it took 2–3 days for the clearance.
If cheques were spoiled, mutilated and lost then the transfer took more time as a fresh cheque was
required again. With e-banking, you can transfer funds easily from one account to another through
computer, laptop and even with your smartphone.
