Two great French writers arrived at a very modern conclusion several hundred years ago. Both men would fit into our age of texting, social networking and putting everything in writing.

So even though both men, Voltaire and Rousseau were extremely different in approach and sensibilities both arrived at the same conclusion concerning personal communication. They decided to communicate with the world, and this included friends and family, primarily in writing. For myriad reasons some economic of course and some concerning simple expediency, editing and storage of ones thoughts became paramount.

Two Frenchman, both connected with the seminal event in Modern World History, the French Revolution, and two men of different age who didn't care for each other, downplayed interpersonal voice lead communication and instead both choose the written record as the way to go. Forerunners of texting or just ahead of their times in general. It's one way to go, their methods that is.
