How Can I Use Those Free Instant Messaging (IM)?
There is one very basic requirement to use those free internet messaging (IM), such as Hangout, Line, iMessage, Whatsapp, or Facebook Messenger. There get to be enough friends on the services for you to have good reason to use it daily.
Some could face the situation like my Dad’s, that he would love to do those free IM services, but all his friends are still on landlines. There is really no good reason for him to use it daily. Once he doesn’t use it often, he forgets how to do it soon.
As we talked about in How to Choose the Right Social Media to Use, it's almost the same process in trying IM. First, figure out what type of IM services those people you like to have conversations with are using. It would be fun only if there are more than handful of people in the circle. If you can’t find enough people, take some classes and you will not only gain new friends, but also learn useful skills, and slow down aging process.
For the technical part, you will need to have internet service at home, and smart devices, iPad, or those HTC, and Samsung Pad. You could use smart phones, but make sure you are comfortable to read and type on those small screens. Surely an old-fashioned computer or Chromebook will do with some IM services, but just you may not feel the POWER of 21st century by using them.

What Is the Difference Between Emails, And Free Instant Messaging, Such As Whatsapp, Messenger, or iMessage ?
There are many free internet instant messaging services today. Some popular ones are Whatsapp, Hangout, iMessage, Line, Facebook Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Telegram, and even Skype counts as one, too.
Since smart devices have become a necessity of our daily life, those services have grown widely. Most users are using two or more instant messaging services at once, not because we have a lot of friends, but because our friends might use different type of smartphones or live in different countries.
Some instant messaging services are only available under selected smart devices, such as iMessage are excursive for Apple iPhone, iPad. Also in few counties, some instant messaging services are blocked by local officials, and a good example is currently Line are unavailable in China.
E-mail is like letters, and internet instant messaging services are close to text messages, or conversations over phones.
One main difference between emails and instant messaging is that we would know if the recipient reads the messages or not. We know the email is on its way, because we hear the flying-away sound. However, there is no way for us to know if the recipient reads the email or not. With the instant messaging, we can know when the recipient reads the message. Of course, one shouldn’t use instant messaging for everything, because that would be very annoying. The guideline is for things that you want to call, but not in such hurry to get a reply. You can consider using instant messaging for the job. What my mom does is that for any small things she wants to know, but not right away, such as, “ what’s the dinner for next Sat?” she will drop me an iMessage, and whenever I get time, I can reply.
Another issue needs to take notice is that, while we always have copies of all sent emails, instant messaging services don’t keep all your conversation history. For things you need the I-send-it proof in the future, send it with emails. And you could always follow up with an instant messaging to the recipient to inform him/her that the email is on its way. Almost like in the old days, we called our friends to watch out for coming posts or packages.
Those instant messaging services are just another way to get people closer, and if use them wisely, the 21st century will be the time when the family can finally stay close despite the physical distance between them.
