Since the Industrial Revolution, technology has permeated and become an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, a life without technology seems almost impossible to imagine. Almost everyone, everywhere has access to technology in one form or another. As a result, this type of technology has become ingrained in our culture. Its roots are so deep that it is now strange to see someone without a smartphone rather than with one. As a result, smartphones and the Internet have radically changed the way we communicate and how we communicate with each other. Our language has changed so much from that of our grandparents that it almost sounds like a foreign language due to the incorporation of slang and "text language." With the sudden rise of email, blogs, and instant messaging over the past two decades, the impact of technology on our linguistics has become more pronounced. Technology has helped bridge the gap between people by allowing us to communicate as easily as we breathe. In this sense, one would think that the dawn of the technological age would give rise to a renaissance of the English language, but rather the opposite is happening. With such prevalence of technology such as smartphones and computers, the degradation of the English language is more of a problem than ever. Computers are considered standard in a student's arsenal of weapons used not only to cope with school but also in life in general. Computers have the potential to be one of the greatest assets to a student, especially when it comes to writing essays and assignments, but they are used as a crutch when it comes to write sentences with appropriate grammar, syntax and spelling. Students are increasingly middle of paper. Technology should be considered the greatest benefactor of linguistics and language. Instead, it looks like this could well be his downfall if no action is taken. Technologies such as the Internet, cell phones, text messaging, and social media have impacted language and English in various ways. Emails and text messages have made writing a daily occurrence. Computers have made writing faster and much easier. With such easy access to information, as Peter Diamandis says in his book Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think, "we live in a world of information and communication abundance" (10) and with the With the increasing popularity of technology, we see the English language deteriorate more and more until one day its form in the future will be completely unrecognizable from its predecessor, just as Old English seems foreign compared to the English today..
