The Art of Chat

"From smoke signals to the Internet… the art of chat has come of age.
Contrary to words like rendezvous, petite and peeyew; the English definition of chat is not rooted in French. You see, cat means chat en Francais. But the Association of French Cat Huggers has a whole white paper on the offensive nature of having a chat on a plane.
A chat is a nicer way to say, we need to talk. But trying to be nice about saying, “let’s chat” might be misinterpreted, as we don’t care enough to have a substantive conversation. Not so.
Chat is a speed word. It implies short, sweet and comfortable. It can definitely have deep meaning too.
To chat, in person, is quite simple. You say what you have to say. I reply (Unless you’re my sister and then I can’t get a word in edgewise. Don’t worry, she never reads these.). We might volley a few ideas and we’re done. We had a chat.
Chatting over long distances on the other hand has gone through quite the evolution.
Chatting via smoke signals had to be short and sweet. One puff. Danger. Two puffs, I need Tatunka. Three puffs, Do you have some ice? (I’m spit-balling here.)
Then chatting went to a whole new level when William Morse thought up a whole code with electronic taps. One tap, I. Two taps, love. Three taps, Where’s the freaking ice?
An evolutionary leap in the art of chat happened when Alexander Graham Bell had Ma Bell jump on a treadmill outside his workshop. While she powered the new fangled telephone, Bell said the words. “In your face, Marconi.” This added a new dimension to chatting. Many call it talking. But the phone is still good for the odd chat now and then.
Let’s jump ahead to the digital age where chatting is inspiring a whole buffet of options. Chat lines, IM (Instant Messaging… aka inst msg) and email."
