Twitter e Telégrafo | Twitter and Telegraph

Só um desabafo. Das palavras contadas do telégrafo aos 140 caracteres do Twitter vão 170 anos. É engraçado como a tecnologia recupera velhos hábitos para as mesmas funções e de forma tão diferente.

Just a heart opener. From the counted telegraph words to Twitter’s 140 characters go 170 years. It’s funny how technology recovers old habits for the same use and in such a different way.
