"The technology is 10 years old—that's an eternity when it

"The technology is 10 years old—that's an eternity when it comes to the Internet Age."

The reason isn't necessarily obvious, and Tallinn has no direct say over it, but it's a question of some interest. In his native Estonia, where Skype still exists, Tallinn says he isn't sure if Skype has any future with that particular age scale. "I don't care about Skype," he says, "because the technology is 10 years old—that's an eternity when it comes to the Internet Age."

"What are the chances of it going to be as popular as I thought it would be when I was making Skype?" I ask. "I think it's a lot more likely that it won't be as popular!"

"It will be very popular!"

With such a small audience, the idea of making Skype the future of all technology could easily make things any further complicated. For Tallinn, the answer is, quite honestly, "probably never."

But when one considers the fact that the technology is still in the early stages and the time that it will take to reach its potential of being a part of the Internet, we're going to have to ask: does it matter, at this point, what kind of technological advancement Tallinn's making?The United States is sending troops to Iraq to fight the Islamic State militants, military officials are telling Congress in a letter.
