Texting is not the death of language but the rise of a new form—what some call 'fingered speech.' While writing developed late in human history, texting brings written language closer to the loose, spontaneous flow of everyday conversation. Features like 'LOL' and 'slash' have evolved into new linguistic tools, building a living, flexible system on our screens. Far from signaling decline, this shift shows young people expanding their linguistic abilities and inventing new ways to connect.
