The examples above show how the digital technology has changed the children’s language use. It is in English, but it happens to all languages. So what anything else will happen to our languages in the future? Digital medias have made people too reliant on digital aids, especially young people are the ones who can’t cope with the old traditional ways. Some of the children hate writing, reading. They just want to play computer games or surf the Net.
