Chat

Online Chat has been around for almost a generation...

It seems many people doing SSK11 are OLDSCHOOL ICQ users... and have noticed the fad changes from ICQ back in the late 1990's to MSN in the early 2000's to facebook and tweeter in the current era...

Different people have different reasons for moving programs, most are because friends move...
But what starts the wave?
In the old ICQ days the waves begun because of Hacks and Trogan backdoors left by the unsecure ICQ code... for anyone with secure info on their machines it wasnt worth the risk and as they went to "perceived" more secure programs, so did their friends...

Today its a verry different story...
Most users today arnt aware or arnt concerned about trojans and hacks so much anymore...
Nor are they concerned that every peice of information on the internet, and even on your HDD once your on the internet, is all freely acessable by intelligence agencies and hackers...
Far more concerned about "where are their friends"
Social networking sites have far exceeded just general communication, and yet the old communication networks are still kicking...

Or are they?
Only in the last 5 years have the big internet changes been made in the major part of the internet community... mostly thats because of the ability of people to use higher GFX
Either for photoes and Video, or online environments and MMO's
Its only been the last few years that the older V2 sites and games are closing down...

V1 1960's - 1990's was purly text base origination of the net "remote connecting and small private communications" even the mmo-online environment began at the end of V1 with games having a world like construction, and this was because of GFX upgrades...

V2 1990's - 1996 was the age of Gui's "windows" and real 3d "Wolfenstein 3D" where programs like ICQ finally had the foundation to come forth "Gui Text, or user friendly", and the first real 3d online environments started to unfold with the combination of 3D environment with global text network

V3 1996 - 2002 was the AGE of MMO's, GPU and hardware space enhancements allowing the GFX to make it finally past the basics of Slow processing, and limited space.... this allowed for almost life like Digital animation on the fly for the first time "The birth of real MMO's Masivly Multiplayer Online", it also allowed the normal user to start beginning to use DIGITAL photography, video... Finally the internet had the capabilities that previously was restricted to studios , individual creativity and intergration began a new era where most people started to see where technology was going....

V4 2002 - 2009 Mobile Phone merges with the internet... a Mobile phone was becomming a PC, Games and Chat clients were intergrating functions like text and even VOIP "Voice over IP" at the same time new 3D environments were becomming Semi Real, GFX were upgraded so much one could see the individual hairs on a persons head, or the sweat drip down their face in an on the fly 3d Environment... During this time Ventrilo and Teamspeak came in to play where people could talk to anyone in the world for FREE over the internet, SKYP serveces both normal home phone connections and internet plans, and has a free to use internet program that allows you to call other skype users FREE using only your internet allotted usage...
The age of internet freedom was here... no more extreeme costs for mobile phones, or the internet... every man and his dog could be online... Chatting all day... or be emersed in an environment almost like the holo deck on startrek... Almost...

So its 2009 and whats in hold for Chat...
Well in 2008 we had the Apple Iphone, and now the Iphone 2... complete with gyroscopic mercuty switchs, and GPS "tracking your every move listening and watching what your doing even when the phones off"
http://www.techworld.com/mobility/news/index.cfm?NewsID=7425
"yeah just receiving a message allows someone to hack your phone and from then on listen in, see your camera footage, and even search your data on your phone memory, remotly from any pc..."
Also all phone service providers, and manufacturers, including the Iphone have to record your GPS location and save in the NSA-ASIS databse

The plans people saw were comming in the 1990's "$20 for unlimited internet phone etc per month" the reason telstra was privatised... is now almost apon us...

New technology is going far futher...
Implanting the brain with a perma link to be online and communicate, interact with door locks lights, the pc, or even the internet without a pc... download music all via brain activity...
When this combines with Nanite intergrating, not only will a new boom happen, but GFX is also on the verge of artificially creating a 3D environment undestinguishable from the real world...

V5 2020+ will be almost like the matrix and will be here during the next 10-20 years...
The creativity potential of the human race, and the whole way Jobs are treated and allocated will change dramatically as a single person will be able to solo multiple factories opperations at once remotly while multitasking other real world activities...
Doctors will be able to contact injured patients and intergrate with a nanite microscopic robots to do opperations and healing procedures "maby even remotly as well"
Letalone thinking along the lines of entertainment or defence...
