I decided to compare the differences between communication in the past and the present in a different way; studying ‘text speak’. I transcribed one of the original letters into text speak. When I did this I noticed that the texts were more simplified and shorter than the letters, and I used the classic texting way of speaking (2morro, 4ever, @, etx..). This shows how communication has vastly changed over time, from formal, written and detailed to short, to the point and through network or internet programmes.
