We are the virtual people of cyber space .... some of us more and some of us less... Anyhow, something is changing, and for the worse. It has become ok to write nonsense-language, not only when u txt or chat, especially young people take the freedom 2 do so on other forums as well nowadays.
Then there´s the reading. Few people read books anymore. The younger, the less they tend to read. They are slow readers, and they don´t understand what they read, because they´re not used to combine long text passages and thoughts. They don´t have a vocabulary to speak of. For most professions you need to read to learn and you need to read to widen your perspectives on life as well. So even the thinking will be affected.
In the era of global communication we will in time end up with a vast majority of semi-illiterate people who can not communicate any complex thoughts...? What a paradox.... what a disaster....
Sad, but true. What to do?
VastaaPoistaI don´t know Juan ...I really don´t have any realistic propostition as to what still COULD be done :( ... It´s the society we live in ... there have always been people more or less interested in the written word and thoughts ...the thing that worries me now is that nowadays average requirements are so ... few and not set much high at all!! Too little is required!! Everything you do should be fun and interesting... well ... not everything IS to everyone, and still it´s essential that you manage them and know how to come about, learn something and take it seriously! Today people get away with much too little efforts made. That is what I think is the root to it all....Why they do that ... well ... that´s yet another question with many answers...:))
