Response To Michael Wesh's Video

    There are or is a major difference in texting/typing and writing on paper. The internet has gone as far as containing paragraph in what wouldn't be a word on paper for example <ln>. The texting has become abbreviated and it bleeds into how we write and as far as the workplace when we have to email superiors or subordenints. I do agree because I've experienced it going back and forth texting my cousin who writes in $YMB0LZ instead of the English language, not even complete or abbreviations of the words( but we have that familiarity and understanding). The more technology that is invented and used the more we lose the language itself, yes we speak it but we don't write it cause for the most part everyone recognizes the abbreviations. With abbreviations replacing words we have to relate time and place to find out what it means 'gm ' on Facebook 'good morning', in the office 'general manager'. "We are now at the point of creating a new language within the language" said (Billy T.). 
   With texting slang is becoming more mainstream, we speak emotions through the way we text examples being the use of slang, all uppercase, or entirely too many exclamation marks, smiley face, lols, and abbreviations. We don't speak or we don't speak in a way that is respectful (whether it be in a nice or disrespectful tone) that depending on the relationship to each other setting a partial means to how much respect we have for each other as well. People will soon forget how to socialize in public places, but then again we see that all over the news through the lesson our young community shows us they've learned from earlier generations and mutated in newer generations expressed in new ways.
    So we may only contact each other through text, instant messaging, email, phone, or video chat to the point we don't need to see each other, I'll see you when I go online. We tell the computer what to do and like us it learns and stores it in its database (which is limited) the computer is nothing but what we have created it to be. We limit the characters allowed in text, blog, and emails so that we don't overload computer to the point it burns out, freezes, or misreads; we also taught the computer how to store paragraphs in symbols and abbreviations such as <ln>. We set the limitations so we are nothing more then what we've created in our technology, and this is why and how we've lost our ability to socialize whether it be online or in person; with each other in a respectful or even to our educational teachings we've gone so long basing a humans worth and trust  on. In the end we are what we've created and although there is always something new being created we still limit ourselves. We've created better technology but in a way listen to what we've created or the lessons we gave our technology and this shows in the way we write online and how it bleeds into the way we write on paper. We find new ways to avoid more labor in simple task, shorthand was once for notes now it's all some people know (this statement being self explanatory).
