There is no doubt that technology has been disseminated everywhere and it is believed by a segment of society that increasing communication via technology such as laptops, cell phones and so on has had a detrimental impact on reading and writing proficiency of young individuals. However, I disagree with this notion to some extent, which I intend to discuss in the subsequent paragraphs.
Mobile applications and desktop software, which provide language support, have been developed to make users' life easier, but unfortunately plays a sterling role to exacerbate their language skills. It is generally seen that youngsters these days have installed applications such as Grammarly, and MS-Word in their gadgets which help them to write correctly by using auto-correction tools, thereby making them oblivious about right and wrong words. Apart from this, communicating via social chatting applications, for example, social media makes people habitant of using slang words and abbreviations which further put them in trouble while doing class presentations, colleagues group discussions and formal meetings as it becomes arduous for them to not to use informal terms. Therefore, it worsens the reading and writing skills of young office workers.
Communicating with the help of technology proves beneficial as the software used by such devices provides hints of possible vocabulary while writing, which not only improves writing skills but also increases the cognitive skills of users. Moreover, ease of any time availability for chatting, owing to having mobile phones would make the reading and writing skills of individuals more ameliorate. For instance, if an employee is writing an email to their senior on the laptop, it would be easy for one to write good and error-free writing. Hence, sharing views via electronic devices boosts such skills.
To conclude, although communicating with electronic gadgets has a few demerits, it seems more conducive in terms of providing vocabulary lists, improving cognitive skills and easing accessing devices helps in honing the language skills of individuals.
