Why Use More Word

The internet has changed how we communicate as people. That is without any question. Many people see this as bad thing and that we are only becoming more illiterate using our shortened saying like “ur”, “u” etc… but this is not a new thing, the phrase “ok” comes from rich people shortening “all correct” and it just caught on and now we never think anything of it.

All this reminds me of is the episode of the Office where Kevin decides that he doesn’t need to speak in complete sentences because as Kevin says “ Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.” (https://youtu.be/_K-L9uhsBLM) Obvious that is all just a exaggeration of how we speak online but Kevin has a point, and that flows into how we speak over text on the internet, why write out long words when a much shorter phrase or saying can communicate the same thing as a longer statement.

Looking at Stephen King’s UR we see what in a way is the very beginning of what becomes the start of portable long form writing in the palm of one’s hand. Sure before books could be on a computer but you would need a home PC or a laptop to carry around. But now with the kindle one person really could have countless books on one small device. That being said the entire book of UR was a advertisement and a very dull book whose purpose was to get people to buy a Kindle. Although I do find it odd that the book tries to sell you a Kindle talking about how amazing it is but wouldn’t you have to have bought the Kindle to read it to begin with???? Seems like an oversight to me.

Looking at Massively Open though we see the down sides or what I would call growing pains of the internet and in this case online classes. In the beginning Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick. the class in a panic because what seems like a server or the program that runs the class is not working correctly and as a person who uses resources like Moodle I can also say that sometimes and always at the worst time it goes down. Although it seems all technology has a way to fail us when we need it. And that’s why we can’t rely on only the internet for everything, it’s a great tool but we should know how to work without because you never know when there may be a situation when you need to write a letter or anything that requires IRL writing.
