Well i know c, c++, html, java to name a few, i know how to interact with computers, my mobile phone knows what i want, i am a self confessed polyglot. Polyglotism or polyglottism is the ability to master numerous languages. The history of polyglotism is quiet complex, Globalization and curiosity played its part, as people came into contact with one another polyglots were born. As we look back in history we see columbus, vasco da gama, genghis khan, alexander the great as agents of globalization, they brought the world closer. we as a individual, group,tribe, region, country came to know that we are not alone. We tried to learn each others languages which was mutual and with the exchange of culture, we lost some languages. Evolutionary trait of racism played its part in destroying art, culture and language.
Internet has allowed us to know each others lives, facebook, twitter, google , we are exchanging information and knowledge in bits. We express our emotions through letters like lol, rofl , rather then feeling we are imagining emotions. We have become so artificial that we cannot read language of emotions, faces of distress, anguish, language of loss, anger, fear. How can we feel these languages if we become digital. We know, we see, we hear but can we feel in a virtual world.
