Interesting lotions and potions were prevalent throughout week three’s b.media workshop- posing the positives and the negatives of both the book and the internet was immensely thought provoking.
If you weren’t there, don’t be too jealous- it wasn’t that amazing. To be honest, I would have preferred to be doing something else like getting my jiggy on to some simple shaggy. But uni isn’t always about fun and games and sometimes a gals gotta grow up and try to absorb what is being taught at uni. (Am I allowed to say this about class? If not please disregard <3 )
Besicelly, this consideration and others sprouted from reading of the ‘Xanadu Project’, which allowed me to think about the alteration in language that has occurred as a result of the internets rise.
Itz all pre-t cray tbh.
The relatively new world of the internet has unearthed a whollllleeee new language full of abbreviation, slang and symbols that no longer mean what they used to. Recently I even read that the scrabble dictionary has accepted words created from the internets rise such as ‘frenemy’ and other slang words I cat think of right now which is really helpful.
Wtf. omg. #whattheswag?
The question this formed in my mind was how much more distorted will language become in the following years and will it be a positive thing for humanity or a negative- are we doomed to forever be abbreviating bogans?
Flpn hope not aye?
Swaggers gonna swag,
Bad girl g-g
