Language and Technology
Description
Language evolves to reflect a changing world, and technology has had an incredible impact on the way we live and communicate. This engaging and informative program compares the way a person might have communicated in 1960 to the way we communicate today by following a young writer on vacation then and now. In the 1960s, she uses postcards and letters to correspond with friends back home, while today it’s text messages and emails. Audiences will gain an understanding of how vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and spelling are affected by communication technologies and why these changes have occurred.
