As Skype shuts down, who decides what tech is on top?
After 22 years, video calling platform Skype is shutting down.
After its inception, to ‘skype’ became a verb – and it was the go-to service for many years.
That is... until Covid-19 and Zoom took over.
So how has something once thought to be so innovative become so obsolete?
Who decides what apps and sites we migrate to – and looking to the future, what could be the next big bang – or bust?
Today on The Front Page, Victoria University of Wellington professor of information systems, Alex Richter joins us to discuss the fickle world of tech.
