Technology and grammer
It is not only texting that isn’t helping the grammar of people today, computer also aid in doing this. When it comes to computers; the computer didn’t just replace a person, but changed the way humans do most things. Instead of writing letters we now can write e-mails or send instant messages in a program called aim. There is no longer a need for books because with the internet you can look up anything that you might ever need to know. Studies Show that 85% of college students alone have a Face book page. Face book is a social website where you can meet and talk to people from all around the world. It has taken over the minds of and lives of so many kids and adults. The worst effect from computers is its impact on kids. Instead of kids playing outside and doing educational things they are preoccupied with the computer and play games. Studies show that 73 percent of kids play PC games. Now people don’t even need to leave their house’s to go shopping due to computers. Everything can be done online. Restaurants are now coming out with ways to order food from online. These days’ people don’t even need to go to the movies to see a movie. Instead they have different things like Netflix. This is a company where you pay a low amount every month for them to send you movies through the mail. All you must do is tell them online which movies you are interested in. This may take longer than just planning to go to a movie that night, but people are now willing to wait because to them it’s more convenient.

I see your point on how technology is growing but I don't think it will take over all those things that you stated. People will still go to the movie theater just to have a good time and get out rather than just sitting at home watching it even if it is cheaper. I don't think that it is a good thing that that big of a percentage of children are playing video games and not leaving the house. This just makes kids more lazy and isn't healthy. They need to be active and stay fit, this goes into the subject of child obesity and is a whole nother topic but I don't like the idea of children just playing video games all the time. Some things that you mentioned though would be very helpful such as the ordering food online and facebook and such.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. It's very unsettling to see how many people completely disregard English grammar on a daily basis. Our society just doesn't hold it in high regard anymore. It has become disposable and unimportant. I think if our society is to even have a language anymore, we need to start enforcing grammar in the commonplace.
