Communication is shorter because it is more frequent.

If you can keep people constantly updated about whatever, there is no need to write a long letter essentially repeating yourself.

It is more frequent and more shallow. Deep sentiments are then never communicated (or even formulated). E.g. who cares really how the weather had been on your vacation, yet that is stated. But what are your plans for life once your children are grown? Are you going to share that in a WhatsUp status?
