Each day we spend less time talking and more time committed to our phones. And when we are on our phones we abbreviate our sentences and words to the shortest form possible. We have gone from "Love you" to "Luv u" and all the way down to "ily." What is the purpose of even attempting to think or spell anymore? Speed is all that matters. The faster we can accomplish a task, the better, even if the content in our task is lost along the way.
Instead of walking down the hallway at night to say goodnight to our family, why not shoot them that good old "gn" text. The single calorie and full 90 seconds of time saved in the process fully over powers the lack of relationship built through the absence of physical contact and actual conversation. Why would we ever choose to spend our free time in class going further into discussion with our teachers when we can engage in tweets of "lol @ my life" along with "wat even is the point of skool" which inform us of the feelings and conditions of others. Better yet, why first hand discuss some of the biggest issues at hand in our world today when we can learn online how "bush really did 9/11" or be first of our friends to find out "trump's going to make america great once again."
In reality, the largest question at hand is the question of why large corporate businesses take the time to hold meetings and why congress still meets to speak in person? Would it be easy for our representatives to start a group me and type as quickly as they can to share how "dis bill is dumb" and to tell your fellow congressman "u need 2 get ur facts straight." With this we could save so much time, energy and effort and still get just as much done because the shortened, written words on electronics are equivalent to our intellectual speeches and conversations.
Our society today is finally realizing how much more effective it is to get through everything with the quickest methods.
