“that a society given so much to the use of diagrams and to the maneuvering of objects in space … should at the same time develop means of communication which specialize not in sight but in sound” (Soukop, p. 14)

Task 2
IRC internet relay chat
IRC was created in 1988, IRC is a full featured Internet Relay Chat client for Windows that can be used to communicate, share, play or work with others on IRC networks around the world, either in multi-user group conferences or in one-to-one private discussions.
People are able to have conversations to take place in real time through the medium of tying each other messages online. Everything that either person types will be simultaneously displayed on both of their own screen. This could involve people from all over the world communicating in communicating trough IRC within electronic zones that can be said to constitute “virtual communities” (Reingold 1993)

IRC started to fade away because it has been used as a hacking group, and new modern instant messaging programs were developed with newer display and features with avatars and emotions etc., MSN messenger, yahoo, Google plus, facebook and twitter to mention a few.
IRC was a popular way to chat and share links in the 90s. People have been addicted to “tweeting” their real-time status updates for over 20 years. IRC started a trend with instant messaging and led it to evolve into tweeting and facebooking. In 1996 four Israeli technologists invented the instant messenger (IM) system for desktop computers called ICQ. This technology helped to develop the emotional lexicon of social media, with avatars (expressive images to represent yourself), abbreviations (ASL? = age, sex, location?) and emotion icons.
