Silverman says: “When I think of the future, I think of Skype as liquid communication. Instead of being condemned to a frozen shape like the telephone, it will flow into any device whenever you want and wherever you are.”

Silverman continues:“And, like water can turn into ice or steam, Skype can shift its form to match what you need at the moment: from voice to video to IM to SMS to filesharing.

“Skype blurs the line between the real and the virtual. It bends space and cuts through time. Today, when a conversation wants to be had, technology is not the bottleneck.

“But technology isn't the goal either. There's no question in my mind about what stands at the heart of the communication revolution.

“So, as we celebrate the first five years of Skype, let's raise a toast to the human desire to connect.”

Congratulations, Skype, on reaching 5 years. I wonder what Skype surprises (Skyprises?) are yet to come!
