While IMing is a very beneficial form of communicating, it definitely has its downfalls. I notice people in class using chat engines, not focusing or paying attention at all. Many people are addicted to it as I once was. I used to chat for at least 4 hours a day, mostly using sleep time as the rest of my schedule was busy. I began to realize that I never really talked about anything I needed to know and so stopped doing it. Another problem that it causes is a very big distraction when trying to write papers. It's pretty tempting to just sit at my computer and just type that one sentence to one friend or send that one picture. Before you know it, you've wasted 3 hours and only have 1 paragraph on paper to show for all that time.
