Q&A: How would I explain VoIP to a child?
Question by Dak K: How would I explain VoIP to a child?
My little brother (8) is asking about voice over IP and I don’t really know how to explain it to him simplistically. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Just tell him that it sends the persons voice through the computer and through the internet instead of through the phone and phone line. I can’t think of a simpler way. If he asks how it gets to a phone just explain there’s a box that lets the call go through to other phone lines.

You speak into a microphone. Your computer converts the sound into a digital signal and sends it over a network to another client. It is then converted back into audio for the other person to listen to.
Its basically like a telephone, but using the Internet instead of the normal phone network.
How you do it depends on which VoIP system you use, which has to be compatible with your friends. Ask them how to set it up – they know what software they are using and already have it running at their end.
