The Chat Room As Dr. Barry Mowell of Broward Community College once put it, "One of the most effective vehicles for wasting your time and interacting with pre-pubescent or otherwise immature, rude people who frequently engage in gross self aggrandizement and ill- mannered behavior would be the internet chatroom." When I read that six months ago, I ventured into a chat room for the first time. I found that a chat room can be quite addicting. I have since chatted on the internet
My First Chat Room Experience Perhaps some of the most amusing sites to visit on the Internet are the online communities. Given this topic, I was forced, although it was inevitable experience hardly avoidable, to do some self exploration by entering the intriguing world of chat communities.

Internet Chat Rooms missing works cited Over the course of the last several years I have explored several on line communities such as intimate adult chat, travel, dogs, trivia, and writers.

They have them from preteens up to adults. It is very easy to get into the rooms no matter what age you are. There is no real way for anyone to check if you are of age when using a computer. This makes it simple for me or anyone to get caught up in something that I shouldn’t be doing. To get connected to a chat

(IM) services, chat rooms, blogging sites, social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and online classrooms/school groups. I intend to discuss three of these types of online communities – chat rooms, social network sites, and online classrooms/school groups – and look into the pros and cons of using each of these.

Speech Community Contribution There is an infinite amount of chat rooms available on the internet and each one can be defined as its own speech community. I have chosen to analyze a chat room that is devoted to the hit Fox reality show, American Idol. The transcript used was from a chat session that occurred at 10:00 PM on March 27, 2005.

This experience and other concepts and ideas that Ive either read about or envisioned stood as my foundation in deciding on and formulating
who and where the sex predators are hiding when they have already become victims of online abuse. The reason why victims are finding out about online sex predators too late is because they are not informed of the dangers of social media and online chat rooms. This is the main argument of my final

Teachers.Net I could feel the muscles in my back and in my neck tense up. My palms began to sweat. "What do you know about on-line virtual communities?" This simple little question posed by my English professor initiated a state of panic for me. Come to think about it, I did not know much about virtual communities, so how was I suppose to write a paper on the subject? The tension escalated. Up to this point, using the MOO during the computer lab segment of my English class was the only educational
