Back in the day, chatrooms consisted of people using typewriters or "pen and paper" for the truly archaic. They would use these instruments to put words onpaper, then seal it in an envelope and people called "mail men" would then deliver the "letter" into a vast service that would distribute said letters to the destination specified on the envelope.

it took a long time, and the "mail men" were prone to acts of violence, so they invented computers to make chatrooms quicker and easier.
