Technology is effecting today's language by making all elongated words into slang. Younger generations are using the slang far more than adults. However, most adults use the slang as well by sending and receiving text messages. When using devices such as a mobile phone, the person may send a message that requires elongated words, however most people can not be bothered to write it all out, therefore using slang to resemble the same thing. Using slang frequently on the phone can be then used aloud. Making it more popular with the on coming generations. In my opinion slang isn't a bad thing but it can be misinterpreted to both the older generation, businesses and to people who have no clue to what the slang mean't.
