Language Evolving

In her YouTube video, Crystal VanKooten raises some interesting points about how modern language, particularly English, is changing to accommodate the faster pace of technologically dependent societies. With a few well placed commonly used deviations from standard written English, VanKooten draws attention to the way our language has been forced to accommodate simplifications of language to accommodate a greater rate of communication. No longer do people have the time to leisurely compose a letter to a friend. In commenting on the changing pace of our society and the consequential effect on communication, VanKooten tangentially comments on the deterioration of certain parts of our society. In the name of progress, modern people have sacrificed much of what previous generations, until the Industrial Revolution, had fought to cultivate into tradition.

This is particularly evident in modern communication. Text based communication can now be as fast, if not faster than speaking face to face. It just depends on how quickly one's thumbs can move. Do you have thumbs like lightening? Or is the iPad Apple's gift to people with inarticulate fingers? Either way, there is no doubt that millenia of language development must now yield to the masses, in the name of progress.
