I was reading the previous posts and noticed the topic of how our culture and language is influenced by the large increase of technology in our society. And I think we can all agree that technology is only at it's beginning.
I'm just concerned that technology is going to get a bad wrap because it promotes the use of text instead of voice, which isn't always the case.
I feel like currently or society uses video chatting minimally. I remember in the early 2000's that if anyone saw a web cam in your house you were automatically judged as being a "creeper"... unless of course you were a grandparent or your children were away at college. Technology, in the future, will in fact promote the use of human interaction by voice instead of our standards now of email, texting, blogs, forums etc. Now web cameras are standard in most Apple computers and Dell is catching on as well.
Overall, I believe it is important if language is lost or untraceable in the future, but I think technology is only going to enable us to preserve the existing cultures of the world. I'm not denying that it has promoted the deterioration of our current language "standards".
Do we have those? Americans? Standards?
Does any one care?
Not for sure...
