How do you think the rise of social networking affects language use? (Give some examples)
I feel like social networking has greatly affected language and continues to everyday. New names are made for theses new social networks six years ago there was no facebook or myspace. Along with these social networking sites comes new slang and alternate meanings for words and sayings. Six years ago if I said I was going to unfriend you that would mean just that now it means i am going to delete you from my facebook.
Does the spread of the Internet and other technologies create a larger need for English knowledge around the world, or reduce its necessity?
I feel like the spread of the Internet and technologies reduces the need for English knowledge around the world. With Internet and technology you have every thing at you finger tips you can translate anything in seconds. There are even apps on phone that can translate for you.
