As far as something technology-related that happens to interest me, at the moment, I've found that instant messenger services (something that I've been using for about 10 years) have managed to help me keep in communication with many people with whom I'd otherwise have relatively little contact over the years. For example, despite my best friend and I having attended different universities (roughly 100 miles apart), we were able to talk (for free, and without the degree of immediacy required by phone or internet-based vocal communication) practically every day.
Here are some instant messenger-related links:
Windows Live Messenger
