Two or more people would stand beside each other and write notes like crazy. Automatic chat log and user-defined emoticons too. What more could you ask for? Actually the system of writing publicly visible notes to specific people is still being used to some degree at conferences. For sure the scope is so much more limited, but except that a machine is not used, the communication method as such is still being used. What about a version for instant messaging?
