We can never be able to separate Internet and university. In fact, the Internet and its technology was developed in campus. One of the most significant technology in campus life is HTML chat room. For those who went to university in the early and mid 1990\u2019s, we would still remember the Internet Relay Chat or IRC, which then followed by ICQ created by Mirabilis quintet: Yair Goldfinger, Arik and Yossi Vardi, Sefi Vigiser, Amnon Amir.<\/p>\n
If we look back further, to the first day of Internet at its birth during the ARPANET era in 1970\u2019s, we found the initial technology was created in campus. The very first e-learning system called PLATO, an acronym for Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation, was equipped with live chatroom system called Talkomatic. The e-learning system was developed in University of Illinois to provide a graphical computerized learning system in the campus of University of Illinois. Although designed to be instructional learning system, due to its complete communication system in its operation, it is said that the system was creating new wave of online community. Talkomatic chat room was one of the wide array of communication system in PLATO beside bulletin boards, forum, instant messaging, screen sharing and personal notes.<\/p>\n

One of the messaging apps for iPhone created by Ray Ozzie, former Microsoft software architect was named after chat system. Ozzie was a graduated from University of Illinois, and during his tenure in campus, he worked a lot with the system and its communication system. Ozzie is famous as the creator of Lotus Notes messaging system, inspired by University of Illinois\u00a0messaging system. He was also known as Microsoft legend who was responsible for design and architect of \u00a0Microsoft software after Bill Gates era.<\/p>\n
The Very Beginning of html chat room<\/h2>\n
Let us go back to the early live chat room started in university campus. Please remember, during that era the 1970\u2019s, laptop or desktop computer had not been invented. All computers were UNIX mainframes, and users access the program using terminal accessing the mainframe.<\/p>\n
However, University of Illinois was able to create a breakthrough with its e-learning system, surpassing all technology limitation. Its graphical instructional for instructional learning was enormous for that era. Not to mention its games that inspired current game like Microsoft Flight Simulator and current multi user game was first initiated in the system.<\/p>\n
During conversation, character was broadcasted by one character after another as soon as user typed in. This was fascinating because users could see when a character was deleted or a typo error was corrected. A very different approach than common html chat room today, which transmit the message as a user indicating the message is finished by pressing enter of by clicking the \u201cSEND\u201d button.<\/p>\n
