When I was younger, I use to use this old chat system called IRC. I wonder what ever happened to that; the internet has changed so much since then.
I remember that, too.  Well, considering the IRC clients are computer programs that we can install maybe it is still around.
Who created IRC anyhow?
I actually know his name.  It was created byJarkko Oikarinen in 1988.   
Oh wow, it was made when I was born! And there I was as a child thought I had found something new! How did it get so big? I know it was pretty big when I found it.
It is huge with the top 100 IRC networks served more than half a million users.
Holy cow! Was it open source when it was released?
Sorry, I just realized that IRC usage has actually declined a lot since 2003 at a 60% loss
