Written communication is one that is carried out through words and according to a code, always written on media such as paper, mobile screens, computers, etc. In general, we can identify the code with the language in which the communication is verified, although there are other types of codes.

On the contrary, oral communication is one that takes place through voice and words. For two people to communicate in this way, a shared code and a physical medium are needed. The code is the language in which it is spoken.

All people need to know it for communication to be effective. The physical medium can be the telephone, a videoconference or simply the air. In its beginnings, written communication was carried out through pictograms.

It was the Phoenicians who invented alphabetic writing, in which each letter represents a sound. This is the system we still use today. Alphabetic writing has been a fundamental technology for the development of civilization.

It allowed knowledge to be recorded and transmitted from generation to generation. In our digital age, written communication has invaded screens: we find it on social networks, web pages and in the billions of emails that are sent daily.

. ). Differences and similarities in written and oral communication Communication persists over time, oral communication does not What is recorded in writing does not depend on individual memory, nor will it be forgotten when the members of a generation die, but rather remains in the weather.

Written communication is subject to spelling rules When we communicate orally, it doesn't matter if the word “shoe” starts with z or s.

Instead, written communication is expected to fully comply with spelling rules. Different media Throughout its history, written communication has been transmitted on various media. Among the oldest are papyrus and parchment; later the paper was imported from China.

Today there are digital media. Oral communication is based on conversations where two or more people are present, in audios, in videos, in calls or video calls. Written communication can be corrected Unlike oral language, written communication allows it to be revised as many times as necessary; that also means that you can plan what you are going to write.
