Gaming online has always been a major part of my life, I felt compelled to have a detailed understanding of one of its main components being voice chat. it matters because online chat (especially within gaming) is such a normal way of communicating within todays society, it's history deserves to have a clear breakdown. The initial impression is that has a good basis of information but does not go too in depth about what games really popularlized the use of voice chat.
