Technology is destroying the English language

Technology is destroying the English language so today our parents fear for our future. As a 15 year old teenager I use technology all the time. I think that all teachers will agree that technology is destroying the English language.

Communicative devices breeds different usage of the existing language. An examples are texting and netspeaking which are different. That’s because when you text someone you abbreviate words like U for you, 2 for to. These abbreviations, which are used by young people, are actually changing the English language.

I’ve checked that over 60% of the young people aged under 17 years old use instant messages when online, and such language is growing every day. Which way is too bad for the English language because in the future we won’t be able to write and speak properly.

I use technology every day. Technology which I’m using is laptop, tablet and phone. I realized that my way of writing messages is different from my parents way because they use proper words. When I use my phone to text someone often I replace my words and emotions with emojis. They are different faces which show expressions and emotions. Mostly they’re used by young people but sometimes by older people, too.

Another thing is the idiolect. Which are the word I use most of the time. My idiolects are strange because I don’t use a lot of words and maybe the most used is cool and Oh my god. I use it when I agree with something or I want to say ok.

Slang is informal language used with people that you know. An example of slang is when you give someone a pen and he says: “safe” by this word he means ok, goo, thank you. Another example is dead. When someone say it this means it not good or it is very boring. Slang is used in certain groups to try and make sure that other don’t know for what you are talking about.
