IM (instant massaging)

IM is existing since 1990. It’s a form of a communication by internet. If only a person downloads this application to him PC or other devices, is able to use it. IM is usually used by teenagers to chat with their friends. It can be a chat between two people but also if they would like they can make thing called conference which then contain more then two people. IM it’s basically a real-time online chat. IM can be updated, at the beginning it was only a peer-to-peer conversation then more than two and now you can also have a voice chat or video chat. It’s amazing how technology has moved on it very short period of time.
We have now a lot of different IM’s although some of them are more known and some of then are rarely used. There’s just few business that actually using the IM most of them prefer email.

I personally was using one of the IM when I was 14 so that was 4 years ago, I don’t really remember how it happened that I’ve stopped but I reckon it was because technology has come up with a lot of different ways how I could communicate with my friends but before it happened I remember spending so much time online talking to my friends. It was the easiest, the quickest and the cheapest way to have a long chat with friends. Some of my friends still have the IM but then are not using it as often.
