How do you use technology to keep in touch with your friends and family? This was a question we were recently asked, which got our minds spinning about all of the new ways we're able to stay connected with loved ones, even if we're miles apart. Gone are the days where we rack up minutes on our phone bill to catch up for hours on end. Instead, a set of modern apps has enabled us to keep up with each other all day every day. Here are a few of our latest favorites:
Pair
Pair is one of the hottest new apps making its way around Silicon Valley. It is designed to help couples communicate with each other no matter how far they are apart. The app lets you send notes, images, drawings (my personal favorite feature), real-time location status, and more to your significant other. Even cooler, a feature called "thumbkiss" lets you virtually hold each others hand (err, thumb) from the screen on your phone. (Images from AppSafari)
