Very first popular chat rooms were IRC chat rooms, which started in Auguest 1988. Before that, users were able to chat using the Bulletin board system (BBS) which have been around since before the birth of the world wide web. BBS and IRC can still be found today, but not likely in the near future.

The Talkomatic, the first online chat system, was created in 1973 by Doug Brown and David R. Woolley at the University of Illinois. The first dedicated chat service available to the public was created by Alexander Trevor in 1980.

Chatting has been around for nearly as long as the internet. The first real "chatting" was using a BBS. The first real time"chatting" that I know of was using a protocol called IRC, or Internet Relay Chat. It worked by having numerous channels, and when one person wrote something, everybody in that channel could see it right away.

IRC is still around, and is actually quite powerful once you learn all the commands.

The "internet relay chat" protocol, IRC, was invented prior to the web, but each user had to "log in" to a central computer system "hosting" the chat.

Why are chat rooms unsafe?

Chat rooms are unsfae for many reasons. Firtst of all, you can never really know who you're talking too. They can say that they are a 10 year old girl when they are a 54 year old man. And when you tell people info about yourself, they could use it against you. Maybe Blackmail, or worse. When you are in chat rooms, you have to be carful. Not to say where you live/work and stuff.
