Part of this is evident when we see that we can log in with the accounts that we were managing at that time. Right now, the application comes with an interface that reminds us of the old days, but with features that adapt to our current times. For this reason, ICQ, although it comes with renewed options, will be extremely attractive for those who used it at some point. However, nostalgia is a very powerful factor in these moments where alternatives to communicate abound. There is WAY too much naive users just following what's given them out there and they have NO idea how their mind has been conditioned in a basic way.Messaging over the internet has its beginnings in the late 80s and since then, they have advanced to everything that we can achieve today on WhatsApp or Telegram. If anyone out there knows of this feature ANYWHERE, PLEASE chime in. And plenty of people will have never used it so they don't know what you're talking about, and just ignore it and move on to the next thing. Using this kind of real time flow can go a long way, but unfortunately I'm afraid people are so conditioned by the current style of instant messaging that they will not bother to implement this anymore.

Attention span being what it is even the person writing it may lose track and get distracted by their response, especially if it gets emotional and conflict ensues. When you send a completed message, even short ones people are prone to make assumptions about how to interpret that, assumptions they don't even know are assumptions - they just take it as fact and make a judgement based on that. The importance of seeing people type the messages is it is in REAL TIME, and there's a natural flow to it.

The addictiveness of social media is now fairly common knowledge (and the fact that it's by DESIGN) but people are still naive enough to think it's how you use it, they are all but completely unaware of the kind of impact it has on them. MassagesGR has a REALLY important point, this actually CANNOT be emphasized enough.
