When did you learn how virtual chat?

When I seen my kid typing, laughing, making friends on the computer; I asked that are you doing? My kid taught me.

Wow, it's been a very long time since I "learned" how to virtual chat.  I think one of the first places I ever did was a place called "Virtual Places."  It was a lot of fun.  It had virtual rooms you can go in and out of and you chose an "avatar" to represent yourself.  What a riot we used to have chatting in these places.  Of course, there was IRC (Internet Relay Chat), too.  Literally, THOUSANDS of places you can chat on IRC.

I haven't yet and until someof my friends do it, I won't either. It is something I would only do with my close friends and family.

I learned virtual chat when I was in middle school, I used AOL Instant Messenger.

I am not into Virtual Chat.  I do that only with people I know.  You have to be careful these days.
