HOW SOCIAL MEDIA BENEFITS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
The new technologies have changed the way people communicate. Text messaging and social media have played down the English language with their abbreviations, hashtags, and cutting down phrases to only letters. But these changes are not always negative. In certain ways these new technologies have also strengthened the English language. Social media increases our awareness of mistakes and helps us prevent them, highlights the value of short storytelling, and helps us differentiate as writers. All in all, social media reminds people that change is constant.
