Isn't it more of a shift though, from facial nuance to textual nuance? For me at least, I feel like text communication has become more nuanced over the years. The amount of time that I sometimes put into a single email, text or response just to get it the way I want is well above and beyond what is needed to get the point across.

It also makes more sense to me in the context of a generation that is increasingly focused on textual communication as a substitute for face-to-face communication.
