Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows you to make a phone call over the Internet without the use of the traditional telephone company. When the telephone system was first developed over 100 years ago, it was essentially a microphone/speaker setup where point-to-point copper lines connected callers to one another or through circuit switching stations across longer distances. This basic system of telephony is what most of us remember using since we were children and has been the standard, with relatively few changes, until recently. In the 1990s, with the advent of the Internet, people started considering how to reliably and economically send voice data over an Internet connection rather than through the traditional phone system. VoIP is the result of that endeavor. Today, simply by installing easy-to-use software onto your computer or purchasing an inexpensive phone adapter, you can make free or cheap phone calls using the Internet. Companies like Vonage are also providing customers with alternative methods to standard phone service.

There was no understanding about it then. It was a mystery which hasn't been solved even now. It continues to baffle humans even now. The sun is the universe's source of energy, light and heat.
