This article examines the influence of technology on language use and communication. With the rapid advancement of technology, various aspects of human life have been transformed, including how we communicate. The introduction of telecommunication devices, email, instant messaging, and social media platforms has revolutionized the speed and efficiency of communication. This has led to the development of new linguistic norms and shortcuts, such as abbreviations and emoticons, to accommodate the need for brevity and immediacy. Additionally, technology has facilitated globalization and cultural exchange, allowing people from different cultures to connect and collaborate effortlessly. This has led to the emergence of hybrid languages and the incorporation of foreign words into everyday language. The rise of social media platforms has also given rise to new forms of expression, such as hashtags and memes, while presenting challenges in terms of empathy and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, advances in artificial intelligence have impacted language processing, making language barriers less of an obstacle. Understanding the multifaceted influence of technology on language use and communication is essential for navigating its benefits and drawbacks effectively in our increasingly interconnected world.
