WTF will happen to words?

Good morning. I haven't posted in a while, I figured my two posts might saturate the internet and cause all kinds of turmoil so I took a break.

I love technology and social media. I love my iPhone, I love my MacBook Pro, and I love learning about the new tech stuff daily. I can't help but notice the trends to make everything shorter. This is not a new concept, but I wonder how far it goes. Now we shorten a URL to a few random characters, we say (or type) complete sentences with very few actual words and we have become impatient with email (it is archaic and takes too long.)

Believe me, I am guilty as well. I have never typed LMAO (excepting just now) but I do enjoy the rapid fire options available in communicating today. I know there is value in saving time, but as Dane Cook notes, "In the future the DMV will still take like 9 f'n seconds." Everything is abbreviated, so much so that there are online dictionaries of sorts to help you understand how some abbreviations can mean several things, depending on context. Will novels become pamphlets in the future? Will we actually verbally communicate in an abbreviated form?

Will Websters dictionary become a book of abbreviations? I get concerned when I hear younger people talk to each other in such broken or incorrect English. I also read blogs with so many typos. I mean, people who make a living typing blogs. Today I saw that a major blogger had "payed" big money for something. I can't wait for the millions who read this blog (okay, the three of you) to point out my mistakes. I don't get paid to do this, in fact, I'm hoping someone will pay me not to do this.

I don't have the answer. At this point I have already forgotten the question. See? It all happens so fast. What do you think. Should we pay people to write opinions if they can't spell? The opinion still gets through, but does the acceptance of sub par English and bad grammar become accepted too? Do we perpetuate shrinking the vocabulary world wide? In the future will reading Shakespeare be considered reading a foreign language? I pray thee, whilst thou wax poetic? BRB!
