Skype

If you're planning to travel outside the country, or without your cell phone, memorize this word: Skype.

Skype is an amazing program that lets you talk over the Internet. Anywhere in the world, for about 2 cents per minute. The clarity is incredible, it can be used at any computer with an Internet connection, and all you need is a headset and mike.

I've had it for a week, talked for well over an hour. The bill? $1.50.
