      Conversely, the breakdown in the ability of a person to intrapersonally communicate is associated with mental illness (Dance & Larson, 1976).

      Those suffering from the symptoms of mental illness disconnect from their internal voice. When someone who suffers from mental illness is exhibiting symptoms usually they stop having intrapersonal narrative. This is caused by the individuals mistrust of their own brain. They know somethings wrong so they cannot rely on their thoughts to be based on reality. Once treated individuals slowly learn to trust oneself again.

      Later, as social psychology began to expand in academic institutions, speech communication scholars saw places for connection to further expand definitions of communication to include social and psychological contexts.

      Using physical and oral cues can provoke a desired response. Ask any good therapist or market manager. People are hardwired to respond to certain sounds and sights with preprogramed responses. Most individuals never know they are being manipulated.

      The end of the “Manuscript Era” marked a shift toward a rapid increase in communication technologies. The “Print Era” extended from 1450 to 1850 and was marked by the invention of the printing press and the ability to mass-produce written texts. This 400-year period gave way to the “Audiovisual Era,” which only lasted 140 years, from 1850 to 1990, and was marked by the invention of radio, telegraph, telephone, and television. Our current period, the “Internet Era,” has only lasted from 1990 until the present.

      The way we communicate now through text and e-mail is still a form of written communication. The real difference is the words used and their context. Letters written by Presidents Lincoln and Reagan were so elegant and descriptive. Now its all about brevity, There would be less misunderstandings if e-mail and text were filled with descriptive words that conveyed the authors true meaning.
