The Long and Short of It

As letters (snail mail) have given way to faxes and the telephone has at once been partly replaced by e-mail yet rendered omnipresent in the form of the mobile phone, the words we use to communicate (excepting text messages, about which I know nothing) become longer and their combinations less direct. This strikes me as a weird paradox.
