Do you see this as something fundamentally new?

I'm a strong believer that the medium is the message, right? And our language will always reroute around what works with a given medium.

Before we had any form of written language, oral tradition would rely more on rhyme, meter, repeated phrases, um, stuff that was easily memorable.

Then we moved to, you know, papyrus and stone, and, uh, our language still sort of rerouted around the medium.

If you look at, um, languages that were built around civilizations where they were writing on leaves, it's more curly, and writing that evolved on stone was more, like, rigid.

And literally the medium shaped the style of the writing.

Once we moved to print and the printing press and mass production of books, we now segment our stories differently, right? We put them in chapters.

If people feel like they want to better communicate across generations, when in many cases it feels like people are speaking entirely different languages depending on how old they are, depending on where they spend time on the internet, do you have advice for people how people can understand each other better?
