Just basically an accounting of language as it is conveyed between media types
namely,
Air, Silicone and Mail ;
in Air, you have to basically be ready to respond within a reasonable period, say about three or four seconds
upon Silicone, you could "afk" and then mix a drink- rinse out the mixing utensils and type a response with some degree of forethinking
in Air, you could breath in the real-time vibes that trigger automatic subject sensitivity, like, (something too disturbing for me to detail here)
upon Silicone, you would be able to digitally sort and discard these disturbing elements and then lie to yourself about the true weight of the conversation
in Air, a comedian can deliver a punchline in order to impulse a laugh out of you, even to the point of spitting out your wine
upon Silicone, latency can cause punchlines to be misinterpreted as an offense, which will likely sully those carefully established digital relationships

You could encode the Air in the fashion that Native Americans did with campfires and blankets,
but i would never suggest that you try and breath Silicone__ !
nor pattern the "the ins and outs" of breathing within the basic scope of a vacuum in order to encode it upon a microchip that can only be read by a machine—
either way, in case you may not have noticed,
Personal Letters are —at this moment— asphyxiating into blue screen oblivion, deep inside the Lost Mailbags of Redundancy...
