Prompt:How might new media technologies permanently influence our language, the way we communicate, and how we form knowledge? In the same way we no longer have "high English" (thou, shalt, thine, thither, etc), what features of our current language might change? Why?

Response:
New media technologies greatly influences many aspects of our generation. For starts, it affects how we talk. It allows for new acronyms, new words, and new ways to interpret the ways that we talk. It also influences how we communicate, from different mediums of how we communicate to the adaption of newer technologies in order to make communication newer and easier. New media technology also provides a different means of obtaining new knowledge by providing access to news and information as it becomes available and updated. 

New media technology also affects the way that our current language changes. As the population and technology adapts, the language that we use must also adapt in order to keep our vocabulary and the meanings of the words up to date. The information and language that we have and use can never stay the same. It is always changing and updating in order to stay up to date with the people that use it.
