Abstract :
Various kinds of communication services have been developed based on the concept of the incremental upgrade of already existing functionality. However, postulating that the significance of communications would stimulate peoples´ imagination and creativity, it´s not necessarily correct to reproduce the so-called face-to-face internet-based communications. In this work we employ the concept of downgrading, rather than upgrading of already existing functionality of internet-based communications. We propose the ´´Comic Live Chat´´ as a new communication tool only with photos and texts. As a result of experiment, we could confirm that peoples´ imagination and creativity are facilitated by the proposed Comic Live Chat.
