During sixties, in the early ages of the informational technologies, the computers were held in high respect (in the main for their extremely high price). At the time when it was unthinkable to bang the keyboard just because you have been killed in Quake, in view of shortage of enough computers for everyone, they reached the great conclusion that during most of the time the computer (even so primitive as of that time) has to wait the user to input data. Then they made an inference that till the wait of this user the computer to pass away the time could execute the data input by another user. There came the insight and the "time-shared computer" was born. Naturally that points the beginning of utilization of computers for foolishness. It didn't pass a lot of time when the tied to one computer users realized that for their boss is more difficult to catch them when they knock about instead of working, if they use the joint computer to write through in lieu of talking or tossing paper pellets.

Of course the "need" raises the solution - a lot of research organizations crowded in, that developed applications for messages exchange between the users. The technologies very quickly advanced so much that very soon it was possible the messages to be exchanged in real time. As usually the stage of the technological development is inversely proportional of the reasonableness of its usage. With simple words the more the interchange of messages became easier the more the utility of the information in it decreased. Soon after the development of this kind of communication they stick to it the most appropriate name - chat.
