Like a rag doll he falls back nto the seat. Big slow Leon is already walkng away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat."

TASK 2
IRC also known as Internet Relay Chat was a program that creates an opportunity for people to log into a site and be able to interact with other people also using the program. It held features where you could have a public conversation for all to see or even a private chat between you and a select few. (1). It allowed people to interact not physically but through text on a screen. The IRC program was created by Jarkko Oikarinen in 1988 and was one of the first technologies involved in sending not voice but text to others through use of computerised technology. The idea of chatting through text instead of voice was introduced because as there were so many people using the program if everyone chatted by voice alone it would be utter chaos. (2). Oikarinen also developed the idea of allowing people on the program to choose who's activity they wanted to view and who they wanted to chat with if they wished to have a private conversation. (3). Viewing peoples activities ended up becoming a sort of way to change channels.
At IRC's most popular point they had over 100,000 users and was one of the top 4 most used sites. Unfortunately due to heated arguments as to how IRC should evolve, other sites began to appear an eventually it has been left behind. (4). IRC helped other creators in developing the other chat features such as the application MSN messenger, Yahoo, and even the thought of sites such as Myspace and Facebook.
