Many people use written language in less formal and relaxed way. Does this development have advantages and disadvantages?

#people #language #development
These days, more and more
people
 are using a simplified
style
 for writing, which is probably due to the fast and changing world where
time
 has become a precious currency.
This
 essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
this
 development. In my view, it happens because
such
 a way of communication makes a conversation faster and more relaxed.
Besides
 that, due to the fast-growing popularity of social media, a short and simple
style
 of writing is the only way to catch
time
 in the swift online world.
This
language
 development has lots of benefits in its ecosystem, but as far as I see, it has numerous drawbacks in real life. A primary advantage of informal written
language
 is that it rapidly conveys a thought, which is significantly important and relevant in the current
time
. Politeness and formalities are not needed anymore, because they take too much
time
. A relaxed
style
also
 helps
people
 on the internet to feel more connected to each other.
On the other hand
, there are obvious negative aspects of using that kind of
language
style
.
Firstly
, it creates difficulties in communication between generations. The oldest
people
, who were raised on formalities and extra politeness, just can not understand modern generations with blurry borders in speech.
Secondly
, the informal
style
 does not always fit all communicative situations, which leads to misunderstandings with other
people
.
Thirdly
,
such
 a ubiquitous trend may lead to the primitivization of literature.
People
 not only can stop writing with complex literary
language
, but
also
 they can stop reading classical books because they are written in a too complicated manner. To summarise, the usage of informal
style
 in written
language
 has its obvious advantages, but the extremely active wide spreading of
this
 new way of communication can cause great changes in human interaction and
