Communication Evolution


          Hi there. Can you understand what you're reading at this very moment? If you can, then let me be the first to congratulate you. WE, YOU are a major part of the evolution of communication. The reason you're able to decipher these words is a pure product of a life-long innovation brought about by ourselves. People have continuously been developing our way of communicating without the slightest idea. I bet it took more than a century to get to the language we're working with right now. More and more unexpected things are drastically coming our way. Boy, I wouldn't be surprised if we could communicate with aliens by tomorrow.





          ENGLISH - the universal language. Finding out about its dawn sure was a fun thing. I'm guessing you've all heard about the Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons and the Homo Sapiens, whom we possibly may have been from [theories]. As early as these years can go back, surely there was some kind of communication going on between these early people. I'd like to point out that they, in my opinion [mainly based on cartoons & movies], had been communicating with each other by means of big, loud, gruff groans accompanied by somewhat body gestures. Imagine yourself as an early wo/man, back then if you were hungry you'd probably be saying "Oo-ee-au-oo-coonga-unga" while doing really weird gestures which include your hands on your stomach and frantically doing tiny jumps around like a monkey happily eating a stolen banana, like how I do. One more thing that I really love pointing out involves the use of English and its proper grammar usage. I'm not mocking people here but, in general, Filipinos really do have a sense of humor when it comes to (using) English and it really pisses me off whenever I hear people speak grammatically incorrect. People nowadays (warning: ghetto language over here -> the words "be like") be like "I'm feel so anger right now at this very moment" or "She make me threw the trash on outside" trying too hard be classy, NOT. I'm telling you right now to stop or I'm gonna bitchslap you so hard, you'd be mistaken for that demon in Insidious, you know, this guy...





          Communication really has evolved a lot since the beginning of time. Thanks to this evolution we have come to the languages we have now. Though it does separate countries, I think it's best to have diverse languages for it would act as a challenge in uniting people around the world. With that said, I have always known the universal language alongside my mother tongue, thus the elongated flowery words and the desire to write more in this entry. Accents have developed together with these changes. I'm sure Filipinos with the rough "R" are also scattered in abundant. Have them read the words "What can I do for you?" and I'm sure you'd get a "Uwat ken I do porr yu?". I'm not hating though, it's actually kind of amusing how people actually are the main cause behind the communication evolution. Tomorrow, we might have ridiculously nose-bleeding Filipino fluent English speakers and by next week, all other languages may have been eliminated, except for one.
