About Cyber Definitions
For the first time in human history, writing has overtaken talking as a way of communicating informally with family and friends. As a result, our writing has become far more "efficient" for the following reasons:- You are expected to respond quickly to messages.
- You are often subjected to a harsh word restriction.
- You cannot afford to spend too much time fiddling with a 3-inch "keyboard" while trying to do something else.
