Julie Kagawa, an American author once said, “As cities grow and technology takes over the world belief and imagination fade away and so do we.” This demonstrates the idea that as technology has become the dominant source of medium, it has impacted the way we communicate and brought a new form of expression. The new technology has brought us together in the way that we are connected with other individuals but in a sense we are disconnecting ourselves from reality in the way that we our corrupting proper grammar usage and recreating our own language. We adapt to this form of language as we speak to our so called friends in order to fit in, but we do not think about the consequences of how it may affect us in the long run in our professional career,

If you do not evolve with the newest technology, then people take you for granted. While texting people like to talk in shortened abbreviations, since there are no restrictions. In the article “Texting” by David Crystal, he discusses how texting has developed over the years, it also gives us the freedom to talk the way we want and really show what we think through the different keys offered on our mobile devices. “The more the unusual the word, the more it needs to be spelt out in full. There must be a serious limit to the amount of information which can be conveyed using abbreviation” (Crystal 233). The way we text is limiting our vocabulary usage, as a result, we are just using really basic words to say what we want.

The problem starts here because if you cannot truly express what you think through writing, then what makes you think the way you speak is any better. If we are using these sites throughout the day on a daily basis, then the skills we are using most are those that do not expand our horizons. The quality of what we post and what other sites expose are being exploited with things that lack sophistication (248). Since we are connected to our mobile devices most of the time rather than building on
