Instant Messaging (IM) as I remembered has really changed
over the years. The first instance of IM’ing that I could remember, started
with AOL Instant Messaging. After AOL, social networking websites such as
Facebook offer IM as an alternate means of communication when visiting their
website. Instant Messaging is the alternative to having a verbal conversation
on a telephone or cellphone. It is called Instant Messaging because as long as
both parties that are involved in the conversation are online than they are
able to communicate with one another through text-based messaging. With the
world increasingly becoming more mobile and technology dependent, text
messaging became Instant Messaging.
