I think that mobile phones became popular before chat rooms.
Chat rooms existed first, but I think that they were mostly just for nerds until the early to mid 2000s
Cell phones were only for grown ups and maybe rich kids, but anyone could install instant messaging software on the family computer.
Everyone I knew in high school, even if I wasn’t friends with them, had AIM and even Facebook before all of them had phones, because phones cost money.
Hold up.
