Abstract
When we think about how we communicate on a screen several things come to mind, text messages, emails, Facebook messages or maybe twitter. What we donāt think about is how these modes of communication change how we send each other information. As it says on page 90 of Chapter Four (Cohen and Kenny) āone of the biggest downsides of digital culture is transmission loss of meaning and depth in text in short messagesā. This along with the combination of emojiās and short speak make us pre programmed to keep it short and get to the point. It also opens the door to miscommunication because how I type something may not be the way its read by someone else, which can either be a funny misunderstanding or something more serious like offending someone.
