Really ? That's amazing, that email managed to be invented at least a
decade
before IM and still extended it.
It was initially treated as a delayed instant messenger (ha!).
Look at how people today use email and if you have schools where
students use email, see if you can get access to some of those
messages. They treat it just like an instant messaging client.
I was looking at the way it was treated and applied, not what the
technology was titled...look at how it's practically used now and
you'll see the parallels.
