IRL's chat rooms, messenger services
Chat rooms are conversations that happen online between several different people. You log into a chat room, and so can ten people from the otherside of the world, and you can speak to them using the chatroom. You all share a conversation with each other. From my own exeprience, chat rooms can become confusing because there can be too many people involved in the room and they could be all having different conversations with different people. Chat rooms have become a bit of a social scare, as sometimes young children use these without realising the safety precautions they should take.
MSN (Instant messenger services) is a bit more personal than a chatroom, because you have to know the persons e-mail address before you can add them, which they then have to accept. This means that people dont have to recieve messages from people they dont want to (which might happen in a chatroom). It also means that they can just have people they know on their so they feel safe.
When I was younger I used to play around in chatrooms and pretend I was older than I was, etc etc. I think a lot of people go on chatrooms and pretend to be someone who they are not, do you agree with this? I think on MSN this does not happen. I still use MSN and have since I was about 14, it's good for keeping in contact with friends back home, or asking my friends at Uni for advice RE work. It's also good for building your friendship up with people.
