Internet chat rooms. Conceptual computer artwork of two human heads and printed electronic circuits with wires. This may represent the two heads using the internet, a worldwide communications network, to converse. Their disembodied nature represents the fact that they may never meet in person. Chat rooms allow real-time internet communications in a similar way to a conference telephone call. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/VICTOR HABBICK VISIONS)
