Vocabulary on decline due to fewer books

         Professor Nicholson states that parents should make sure their children must carry around a dictionary to help build up their vocabulary. I think his title should be "Vocabulary on decline due to modern technologies (phones,computers, etc.)." Although each classroom prefer the use of books, computers seems to make things easier for research and almost everyone are using it. Even students are using computers in school and at home. The problem presented is vocabulary on decline due to the specific use of phones and computers. Today, internet has provided the world of entertainment including muyspace, facebook, twitter and much more. The chatting language that everyone use are called "slang" or "acronyms". Its the kind of language that applies the use of inappropriate vocabulary (vocabularies that you can't find on a dictionary). The use of these words has cleared of the use of a vocabulary in the dictionary and its meaning. When people chat, text or IM each other, a lot of them tend to use short words for big vocabulary and it saddens most instructors that they might accidentally use it in writing. Professor Nicholson speaks on the use of dictionary to build up vocabularies in class is much required. Its the use of computers and interenet sites that declines the usage of vocabulary not books. A lot of books are being issued each year by famous writers and dictionaries are being upgraded but most people would prefer the use of computer rather reading the actual book.
