• Letters were the only form of communication in the 19th century.
• Since very few people knew how to already and write communication was mostly done throught face to face conversations.

Answer 2

Answer:

Traditional means of communication have a passive audience meaning that the audience is not involved in the content in the medium while modern means of communication have an active audience participating in the content in the medium. The similarities between these two are that both of them have a medium for the audience.

Explanation:

Traditional media: books, newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. Modern media: the internet, e-mail, social media, and blogging. Traditional media is more reliable than modern media due to the established years of quality content given to the audience. Modern media is still young yet has the potential to grow more advanced. Traditional media is one-to-many and modern media is one-to-one.
