AOL did not invent instant messaging. The Unix "talk" tool can be considered a form of instant messaging, and that has been around for decades.\n\nInstant messaging became popular after Israeli-based ICQ introduced its service in 1996, which was later acquired by AOL. Today, AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM), AOL's ICQ, Microsoft's MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger are the major services.\n\nCerulean Studios were the makers of the popular instant messaging client.

Be happy we have phone and email service, even if it is intermittent. This is the first war that had these means of communicating with home. Letter mail was previously the only means.

I think there is software out there that you can attach to the message so you get an email when it is opened.  I don't know where to find it or how it works, but I have heard of businesses using it.  Just an idea!

Communication is usually described along three major dimensions: content, form, and destination. Examples of communication content include acts that declare knowledge and experiences, give advice and commands, and ask questions. These acts may take many forms, including gestures (nonverbal communication, sign language and body language), writing, or verbal speaking. The form depends on the symbol systems used. Together, communication content and form make messages that are sent towards a destination. The target can be oneself, another person (in interpersonal communication), or another entity (such as a corporation or group).\n\nThere are many theories of communication, and a commonly held assumption is that communication must be directed towards another person or entity. This essentially ignores intrapersonal communication (note intra-, not inter-) via diaries or self-talk.\n\nInterpersonal conversation can occur in dyads and groups of various sizes, and the size of the group impacts the nature of the talk. Small-group communication takes place in settings of between three and 12 individuals, and differs from large group interaction in companies or communities. At the largest level, mass communication describes messages sent to huge numbers of individuals through mass media, although there is debate if this is an interpersonal conversation.\n\nCommunication theories\n\nThe wide range of theories about communication make summarization difficult. However, a basic model of communication describes communication as a five-step output-input process that entails a sender's creation (or encoding) of a message, and the message's transmission through a channel or medium. This message is received and then interpreted. Finally this message is responded to, which completes the process of communication. This model is based on a model of signal transmission known as the Shannon-Weaver model. A related model can be seen in the work of Roman Jakobson.\n[edit]\n\nCommunication mediums\n\nThe beginning of human communication through artificial channels, i.e. not vocalization or gestures, goes back to ancient cave paintings, drawn maps, and writing.\n\nOur indebtedness to the Ancient Romans in the field of communication does not end with the Latin root "communicare". They devised what might be described as the first real mail or postal system in order to centralize control of the empire from Rome. This allowed for personal letters and for Rome to gather knowledge about events in its many widespread provinces.\n\nIn the last century, a revolution in telecommunications has greatly altered communication by providing new mediums for long distance communication. The first transatlantic two-way radio broadcast occurred on July 25, 1920 and led to common communication via analog and digital mediums:\n\n    * Analog telecommunications include traditional Telephony, radio, and TV broadcasts.\n    * Digital telecommunications allow for computer-mediated communication, telegraphy, and computer networks.\n\nCommunications mediums impact more than the reach of messages. They impact content and customs; for example, Thomas Edison had to discover that hello was the least ambiguous greeting by voice over a distance; previous greetings such as hail tended to be garbled in the transmission. Email has produced the Emoticon\n\nSignificantly, new communication mediums now allow for intense long-distance exchanges between larger numbers of people (many-to-many communication via e-mail, Internet forums). On the other hand, many traditional mass media favor one-to-many communication (television, cinema).\n\nThe adoption of a dominant communication medium is important enough that historians have folded civilization into "ages" according to the medium most widely used. A book titled "Five Epochs of Civilization" by William McGaughey (Thistlerose, 2000) divides history into the following stages: Ideographic writing produced the first
