Collaboration
The low cost and nearly instantaneous sharing of ideas,knowledge,and skills has made collaborative work dramatically easier.Not only can a group cheaply communicate and share ideas,but the wide reach of the Internet allows such groups to easily form in the first place even among niche interests.
Internet "chat",whether in the form of IRC chat rooms or channels,or via instant messaging systems,allow colleagues to stay in touch in a very convenient way when working at their computers during the day.Messages can be exchanged even more quickly and conveniently than via e-mail.Extensions to these systems may allow files to be exchanged,"whiteboard" drawings to be shared or voice and video contact between team members.
Version control systems allow collaborating teams to work on shared sets of documents without either accidentally overwriting each other's work or having members wait until they get "sent" documents to be able to add their thoughts and changes.
Voice telephony (VoIP)
VoIP stands for Voice over IP,where IP refers to the Internet Protocol that underlies all Internet communication.This phenomenon began as an optional two-way voice extension to some of the instant messaging systems that took off around the year 2000.In recent years many VoIP systems have become as easy to use and as convenient as a normal telephone.The benefit is that,as the Internet carries the actual voice traffic,VoIP can be free or cost much less than a normal telephone call,especially over long distances and especially for those with always-on Internet connections such as cable or ADSL.
Thus,VoIP is maturing into a viable alternative to traditional telephones.Interoperability between different providers has improved and the ability to call or receive a call from a traditional telephone is available.Simple,inexpensive VoIP modems are now available that eliminate the need for a PC.
Voice quality can still vary from call to call but is often equal to and can even exceed that of traditional calls.
Remaining problems for VoIP include emergency telephone number dialling and reliability.Currently,a few VoIP providers provide an emergency service,but it is not universally available.Traditional phones are line-powered and operate during a power failure; VoIP does not do so without a backup power source for the electronics.
Most VoIP providers offer unlimited national calling,but the direction in VoIP is clearly toward global coverage with unlimited minutes for a low monthly fee.
VoIP has also become increasingly popular within the gaming world,as a form of communication between players.Popular gaming VoIP clients include Ventrilo and Teamspeak,and there are others available also.The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 also offer VoIP chat features.
