Because communication is two track. Like how film has picture and sound synced, communication has the message & the mood. Text is mono. It has a lot of advantages. Text is an asynchronous, information dense, machine parsable, parallel communication medium. But it really is one track communication.

There are ways to fix this, but they involve writing longer, slower emails, and replying days later. Which ain't what y'all here for.
