It seems to be for high school kids and college kids. After that if you have time for it, you should get a life and a job....:O)
Agreed. I once watched a friend’s kid as she IM’d with about 20 people at the same time. “How are you?” “I’m cool, you?” “I saw Sandy today, LOL!” “I know! LOL!” “OMG”
I asked her if she was enjoying herself, and she shrugged. “It’s something to do.”
It wasn’t actual communication, it was more like some kind of electronic game, where you put the proper characters in their places—LOL, OMG, Oh yeah?—to keep the characters scrolling up the screen. Just as pointless as Pong.
