1. The rise of social networking affects language use? Social networking works both ways from how people use it and what they get out of it. People depend on social networking to help them out with the basic of language. What people get out of it is learning new things such as im, texting and email and learning abbrevations such as LOL (laughing out loud) or BRB ( be right back). I believe the affect of social networking make people lazy and use it as an advanatage.
