And now they're like this
It's like the curious case of Benjamin Button. Computers, are like Brad Pitt. How poetic.
Over the years people have managed to create all new languages and codes because of computers, and over time people have also managed to rid themselves of good grammar, and vowels. With all the emerging technology, people are getting lazier, and lazier. It's no surprise that they start making shortcuts for words like 'lol' 'brb' or 'g2g.' If these abbreviations didn't exist, would you actually truthfully find yourself texting '"Laugh out loud no way!!" probably not right? LOL. People are even forgetting to add vowel to some of their texts, "k, txt u l8r" they're replacing words with single letters, replacing letters with numbers?!?!?! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END?!?! When will people learn the appropriate times for "your" and "you're?!"
These different forms of technology are changing, and changing fast. As they change, people change; we start using these different forms of technology to do multiple things. For example, we used to use house phones to talk, type writers to make documents, nintendo 64s to play games, and tv's to watch shows, now we can talk, text, type, play games, and watch shows on the same devices that play and store our music!! Web 2.0 is trying to get us to realize that this new technology is a more convenient way to communicate with friends, family, and others.
I like how you used pictures to show how computers use to look like in the past and now the present. I really like how you explained the new abbreviations then used them later in the sentence. good job!
