Since I left my family to live overseas all of a sudden, my parents wanted to have a TV telephone to get to see me.
So they decided to buy a PC.
A TV telephone    used to be thought to be a future dream device.

Currently we can use SKYPE on PC with a web camera, which exactly serves as so called TV telephone – free of charge! We are living in a super age.

It seems the SKYPE was a wonder of wonders for my parents.
When I contacted them on SKYPE, my father looked into the PC, bringing his face close to its screen. It’s too closeup!

“You don’t have to look into it that close. I can see you well enough.”
