Question

[119]. Passage: Handwritten letters survive differently from messages. A letter carries handwriting, crossings-out, and paper that ages, so a historian can see hesitation, revision, and feeling. A message thread, by contrast, is easily deleted, edited without trace, or lost when a platform closes. The archive of the future may therefore be thinner, not because people write less, but because they write in forms that vanish. Message threads are vulnerable because they can be:

1.
Stored forever
2.
Deleted, edited without trace, or lost when platforms close
3.
Read by all
4.
Printed easily
