Did You Hear That?
A small library of sounds.
On Friday, I ran an interview with Harry Max, a tech innovator who was involved in the ground floor of Skype. As I was considering different ways to start the piece, I thought about including a link to a YouTube video that had all the sounds of Skype in it. This was a potential paragraph I considered including:
Over the years I migrated to other platforms, most notably Zoom with a side of Google Hangouts, but the sounds of Skype still sing to me, and to all who truly believe (in video conferencing).
The last line is a nod to The Polar Express… but I ended up cutting the whole paragraph from the piece. (For obvious reasons, re-reading it now, lol).
But it did send me on a rabbit hole of other forgotten tech sounds.
I’ve created a small library here if you want to include in audio nostalgia:
The Sounds of Oregon Trail *this is actually a super-long playlist!
And finally, of course, The Sounds of Skype
