This is an interesting take actually.. If we can assume that younger generations spend more time communicating electronically via some form of text messaging, at least the majority so, are you saying that that just becomes the "default" form of communication naturally?

Where are older generations would have spend far more time communicating verbally..

That makes some sense to me anyway. Would be super interesting to see some further studies done. And to philosophise the results that could mean.




I was thinking along those lines, yeah. Extrapolating that out, I can imagine a future where writing is the only form of language. It'd make for some interesting dystopian fiction, if nothing else.

I'd be interested in some formal studies as well. My thoughts aren't well researched or anything. Just ideas.
