ABSTRACT
This paper presents a chat-system as a modern communication system taking advantage of digital convergence that addresses the problems of delays, time and materials wastage, and structures that characterize meetings, personal conversations, group conversation, and advert placements in our society. Communication can be realized through any activity and through specialized forms, such as audio conferencing. The specific task defined here is modern communication enhanced and powered by digital convergence aimed at making easier the communication of multiple users of a chat-system, in a local area network. It allows for simple scripting for devices recognition interactions at the ports and implementation in a Client/Server program platform through multithreading but did not cover bandwidth management and how the network synchronizes various media platforms to create new experiences.
