Digital communication has changed vastly, with new technology bringing methods such as IM, SMS and e-mail to communicate. How well do these ways of communicating stand up to traditional voice communication though?
Some methods, particularly SMS, use "modern language", which is a shorter way of talking (I.E you shortened to u). This has spread to the other methods as well, and branched off into other forms of text (I.E a commonly used internet language called "Leet language" where letters are replaced with numbers: hello, h3110). These languages vary however, as different people shorten words in different ways, so there is no fixed way of saying a certain word. As a result, it can often be hard to understand a message you recieve, ending up with you spending about half an hour just trying to decifer the message. Voice communication however, is quick at trading information, and is easier if you are having a long conversation with someone, as it is quicker to speak the word, rather than type it out on a 9 button keyboard.
Overall, Digital communication is a better way of do quick, shortfire messages (such as organising where to go with your friends) whereas voice communication is easier if your just looking for a friendly chat or discussion.
