Technological impact on language usage among the youth (How language usage in personal space is slipping over formal space)

Image
- C. Laldinfeli Social Media have shortened the usage of our sentences and words because of limit of spaces. We try to reflect our thoughts, ideas and opinions with the least number of characters.
