Does the language of new media corrupt communication and culture?
I think that the language of media can enrich a culture and make it more diversified. Like any other language, the language of text is different from other, but unlike most languages, text language is new. This does not make it bad. I think people are afraid of change, and that is why they focus on the bad sides of the language of text. Over break while flying, it was important that i got out a quick text before we took off. I did this by using shortened ways of typing such as "ttyl". This was very useful. The language of new media can be surprisingly helpful than i think most people (especially older ones) had ever thought possible. I think that if we use this fast form of communication, more information can be absorbed in a shorter amount of time. Also an idea can be given much more quickly. I do not see why this would be considered corrupting our language. In my opinion it is just opening another chapter of language possibilities.
