IM

I think that instant messaging is such a great idea, because it allows you to be in contact with so many people at once and to be able to get ahold of them immediately. Phones allow you to be in contact with people very quickly, but sometimes, especially when you call my house, get a busy signal. With im, you don't. The only problem is when people refuse to see that you have an away message up and talk to you anyway. Or they know that you are working on homework but they just have so many questions they ask you anyway. Or maybe this only happens to me-maybe I am just so popular that people always want to talk to me. That must be it.
