subject: Satellite Internet Keeps Families In Touch Across the Country [print this page] You can also use satellite Internet to chat with loved ones across the country. There are independent services like MSN instant messenger or AOL instant messenger (AIM). You can both sign up for accounts and chat that way. Or, many email services now provide free chat abilities between subscribers. That way, when you are casually checking your email, if your mom sees that you are online, she can send you a quick message just to say hello! It is these frequent, mundane interactions that help maintain the feeling of closeness between family members, even across great distances. You can also set up video chat services. Some computers have webcams and microphones built-in, but if yours does not, they are a pittance to buy. You will feel like you are sitting face-to-face.
