I remember how, fifteen years ago, I would sit at a computer with an IM client open talking to 10 or 12 different people. Sometimes having the same conversation with each of them. Sometimes in chat rooms.
Mostly, though, I was always talking to *someone*, not to the void.
It was less lonely than the internet today, where all my direct messages and group chats live in my phone.
