How language is viewed today

Language has changed throughout history and you can see it even today that it is changing from what the older generations used to talk and how the newer generations talk.  My parents are from the seventies so I have gotten used to the way they talk and how the other people of my family talk.  For one major difference is the term girlfriend for my parents and other people of my family this only means a female friend but when I am talking to people around the same age as me this means that you are going out with the person and I have to remind myself who I am talking to when I am going to use this term for both generations look at the term in a different perspective. 

I know that some of the older generation can tell what us younger generations are talking about but since we now live in a world that technology is a big thing and that it has changed the way we speak.  For you can get on sites that will give you a bunch of made up definitions for phrases.  Then whenever you talk to someone or at least whenever I do and the person is using something other than normal speaking (in terms of what I am used to hearing) I do not even have a clue about what they are talking about sometimes even after I ask them to explain it to me.

Now on to books I have noticed that people are moving away from books and other items that use you mind as technology get more and more incorporated into our daily lives.  I play trading card games and they require some reading to find out what the card does.  I like to teach people how to play and they always ask me what the card does even though I keep telling them that all they need to do is read the card and if they are still confused after reading the card then ask me to explain it to me.  I tried to teach my younger cousin how to play over spring break and I found out that he does not like to read one bit and the type of games he like are simple games that take like zero brain power to play.  On the other hand I love games that cause you to thank and use your mind. 

I know that within school systems that teachers are having to incorporate more technology into the classroom just to explain the same things and I believe that some of the teachers that have been working for quite a wile are having a harder time adjusting to the different social habits that the younger generations have more than the younger teachers that are just starting to teach or have only been teaching for a couple a years of so.  I have some family that in their schools that they go to that they are having the kids have iPad’s to hold all of their books and having them do their homework online and turning it in electronically. 

Even just talking to each other is harder to do now since almost everyone has a cell phone and people to not like to talk face to face anymore so it is harder to gage someone’s actually take on a subject for we have taken almost all emotion out of conversations with texting and talking on the phone and not enough talking to each other is a civilized manner where you can see each other and read their body language to tell more about what they actually fill on a subject.  Technology has changed the way we communicate and too many people have taken this for granted and have gotten lazy when it comes to use their mind in curative way or just picking up a book and reading it to keep yourself busy on that five hour long car ride that you have to take to go on vacation.  There are too few people that actually see the benefits of technology and see the huge downside that it has on the social community and other aspects of our life when people just uses it as an easy way of escape and abuses it.
