After reading David Crystal's article"Medium of Netspeak" it is clear that he has a noticeably negative view about the new generations consumption with the electronic medium. He feels as though the "language" used over the Internet is very limiting to the expanding world which is getting increasingly more computer savvy. The language barriers and expressions given on modern keyboards are very subjugating when the many dialects and languages are considered. David Crystal calls this new way of language speech writing. Crystal later showed a parallel difference between speech and writing and shows how the "speech writing" concept in its self is oxymoronic.
