Word belongs to human being; it is a monopoly of his nature. Verbal word contains deep meanings, has symbolic value and makes possible the domain of the world. It is also fluid, transient and frequently allusive. Writing stops the word, makes it durable and sometimes changes it in a rule. Printing press supported writing and his diffusion increases human progress. Digital writing is the contemporary evolution of written communication by computer and cell phone. It is not so permanent as traditional written. Can it preserves historical memory and humanities of man?
