Significance of write and talk command in UNIX?

Both commands are used to allow two users to communicate on a Unix system when logged in (kind of an early instant messaging system).

The 'write' command causes a line to appear on another user's terminal screen only after the sending user completes the entire line and presses the enter key.

The talk command splits the screen into two segments, allowing the two users to talk at the same time. It sends each character as the user types it, unlike 'write' which only sends complete lines. You can see exactly how quickly a user types with 'talk' but not with 'write'.
