Because I usually related to the chat software is more involved than other students around, so said want to write this thing, (PS in this article, the specific communication information of the timing of the arrangement is not in order)
Perhaps the most initial communication information is the use, the beacon smoke signals this kind of things can be perceived from a distance to spread the thing, after all, the ancient army's battle information is to convey, ancient also has a week of the King "War drama princes" historical allusions.
May be because of the reason for the ancient costume TV show, I think the first chat software should be started in the Flying Pigeon biography (here do not talk about the myth of the "immortal" in the micro-knowledge of the micro-bar 0.0 ... )、
Flying Pigeon Biography and " Hongyanchuanshu " is a meaning, is a way of contact between the ancients, the letter tied to the feet of the pigeons, and then passed to the people to pass. Ancient communication is inconvenient, so smart people use pigeons can fly, and fly faster, will identify direction and other advantages, domesticated pigeons, to improve the speed of sending letters, usually, the birds themselves will know the way home, like the weary bird homing. (see Baidu Encyclopedia here)
It says that smart people use flying pigeons to communicate the message, my own cognitive world that may be the pigeons can recognize the way home, we first take the pigeons in the home to the field, and then need to convey a message when the pigeons are flying, otherwise these animals will naturally fly to the arm, What about the branches??
Second, I know the evolution should be the letter bar, after all, such as the appearance of the postman, can be the letter can have a farther and more specific address to convey, and contain information can be more comprehensive and covert, relative to the first two, this way is closer to the edge of chat.
For the emergence of computer This new thing, is the real meaning of the chat software mentioned in the change bar, the emergence of the computer after the beginning of the first should be the message of communication, (the world's First e-mail: http://baike.baidu.com/view/172138. HTM) The development of mail has not been simple at first so short and powerless, now the author can publish any text, unlimited number of words, including pictures, videos and so on,
And the Mail can be a little difference is the mobile phone text messages, of course, this fee-charging method More so that people tend to the software.
More intuitive chat soft will be the real meaning of the systematic "software" bar, for example, we often use the Facebook, Twitter, QQ, Fetion, MSN, Want, crooked, and so on, I am more familiar with the evolution of QQ, from the beginning of the text, expressions, pictures, to the voice , video, file transmission and preservation, and even the development of the online conference PPT playback, student homework submissions, and so on, and so on the new features continue to make this software continuous development,
All kinds of software have different or the same characteristics, this kind of software is towards information security, extension applications, and other directions, and in order to adapt to different groups of people are also developing different functions, these software will be more humane, mobile, intelligent, collaborative and so on. Believe that in the future development and evolution, these chat software will promote people's communication, but these chat software in the convenience of us at the same time we should also notice that it does not bring us a real sense of physical contact, sometimes a hug, a kiss these are we can not express through the language of emotional communication, But with the development of mankind, we are not sure whether this new function will be realized.
Research on the development and evolution of a class of software-chat software (1000-2000 words, in Chinese)
