Cyborg's, vs New Word's
It's "Great", not "Gr8". "See you Later", not "C U L8TR!"
I can hear, the tutting and the sighing', right about now; the complaining of parent's, that are messaging on 'Mum's.Net', to why their "well spoken" child, is turning into a PC cyborg, and how a simple message in today's society, is turning into an encryption, ready to be decoded in 15 minutes before a simple reply of "Chicken Pie" is needed, because the child's message is actually, "Wht's fr T?" (What's for tea) not "Wart's on feet" considering that they my have left the "ee" out of "for" and accidentally missed clicked an "r"; as we all do on our Tesco mobile keypad from time to time!
The English Language, is slowly turning into a robot, rather that of letter's and number's, is replacing the 1000 year old worth of word's and meaning's all used to describe and explain philosophies of life, and maybe sometimes sound's that we merely use when we cannot think of the right word/s to use!
Language, is an important part of society. Enabling expression through good communication therefore, allowing feelings such as empathy and compassion, to not just emit through the tone of a human voice, but through the specially selected word's, spoken from one's mouth; sure, Siri can tell you "It'll all work out In the end", but for some reason I don't think hearing it transcend, from a robotic voice will help you sleep at night.
The English language, is the official language of over 53 countries, and is estimated to be spoken by over 400 million people. If this language is changing to become a more technologically diverse way of speaking, in which words are replaced with jumbled letters and numbers, along with actions being carried out with emojis then the 400 million people may no longer be speaking the commonly spoken English, but an adapted version in order to suit the younger and quickly changing generation. This can cause issues, such as: what would we teach in schools!? The old English Language, or the avidly encrypted text talk language which gives off, monotonous sounding answers, and implies the inability that we as Generation X cannot actually spell; what’s worse!?
Not only are two billion people, projected to learn English Language by 2020, and not just for personal reasons, such as family members living in the 🇬🇧, but for business purposes. 🏴 , is the language expected to be spoken in by international companies including all workers and business owners; fluently. If the language, is under threat of systematically changing, due to new technologies introducing their own words and grammars, what does that mean for businesses!? Not just the struggle to appropriate certain words and translate it into the jargon that is “business talk” but how do businesses target young interns, or even educate and train young interns, if there is more than a language barrier, but a literal age and generation barrier? Would this not infer that the actual company would also have to gravely make a change in order to survive this ongoing world, changing the age old ideas about the business market itself, including the scary grown up things, such as the ancient stock market, and exchanges?
This would suggest then that the English Language is in need of protection, very much like the 🇫🇷 do, in order to protect it’s own historical mother tongue. The use of meetings being planned and words discussed by age old pensioners, on whether “Lol” is suitably French or not; I think they may have overruled it...soz
This however, also questions the 💡 , of a forever changing 🌍 and the concept of free will! Surely, it would be against every moral interest to forcibly or even secretly condition the upcoming generation to “speak properly”, when actually A. They are becoming the face of a new political and liberal facing ideology, meaning that they can therefore, use any language to express themselves as long as it leaves a positive impact, which can be argued to whether the older generation ever really did, and B. It’s clearly not the younger generation that is not speaking properly but the rest of the world because unfortunately, I don’t believe that the language will ever return to the good ol’ Black Plague ridden days of saying “yes ma’am” and “Romeo oh Romeo”unless, Shakespeare becomes just as popular as the “thin eyebrow” 90’s look did, when it came back to seek vengeance on every eyebrow hair that stood proudly although not firmly on my forehead in 2012, and we all know how tragic that was.
