In 1951 Arthur C. Clarke wrote Superiority[^], a short story warning against overly fast technological change - 64 years later and we are still making the same mistakes that he was metaphorically warning against.
From a philosophical point of view - perhaps it's just that we are part of the universe and just as entropy increases in the universe so entropy increases in relationship to our behaviours.

I very honestly do not know what you are talking about.

Skype message:
"
Not far to go now...
You're just bla bla bla
For future updates, Skype may automatically install the latest version to your Computer ...bla bla bla...
"
Since skype is owning by MS Skype goes a very bad way!
Is there something similar other than skype you can suggest?
Thanks.

"Swisscom".... now it is not the cheapest one, but I'm still fan of it. Products are ok (at least for me) and Service -my experience- is great

Pidgin. I've used this at one time when I had several IM accounts. It works on Windows too. You can use it in combination with Google Talk (or whatever they call it now, assuming it is still supported).

I still prefer paper and pencil

Yep so I do. But I still have Problems to assign an IP to my paper

Papers generally have decimal based IPs. Laymen call them page numbers. Of course you will be prone to IP conflicts if you mix 2 set of documents. However, data analysis technology used with papers is top notch. It is called RaFO: Read and Figure Out.
BTW, just to mess with you, try GhostCall. Seriously, stick to Skype.

WhatsApp - would it serve your purpose?
Of course, a lot of discipline is needed with WhatsApp. For example, I only connect to the Internet twice a day (from my mobile), for about 10-15 minutes each, so useless things don't nudge out useful things from my timetable.

this is not a recommendation, but I'm curious so I want to ask...
What's wrong with having the latest updates of a working and free software in your computer?
I do install the service packs of Windows when they come and I'm happy with that... Meanwhile they are not forcing me to change the software I'm using (i.e. win7 to 10) I'm OK.
Skype is a good/interesting option when you have the Skype wifi, Skype plans to call abroad... which both of them are good for small businesses.

On most Points you are right. What's bugging me is that (at least) the last two updates from Skype were very bad and such things I would not have automatically installed.

(In the following message I'm referring to VS Pro editions),
So MS announced at Connect2015 that Visual Studio can now obtained on a monthly and annual subscription.
Looking at the comparison, monthly does not give you the benefits of access to the other software stuff like windows editions/SQL server etc. etc.
It also looks like the Annual is almost half the price compared Visual Studio + MSDN renewal price.
I cannot see what the benefit is now of the VS+MSDN option, from what i can see you get a couple of support incidents thrown in, but with google and the likes of you guys who needs them!
SO, Thoughts on the new subs options?
hmmm...
