The Changing of the English Language

Since the beginning of mankind language has evolved from simple drawings on a wall, to complex syllables that we now identity as words.
With time the language changes, as people who speak it shape it into something new.
A growing concern of our society is my current generation when it comes to writing and communicating.
With the growth of social media, alongside texting messaging, our very language is changing.
The words are becoming shorter and to older generations this is a concerning issue.
Do not get me wrong, as a writer words are a valuable asset.
Words are a powerful tool that require delicate craftsmanship to communicate a clear message. 

However, as with any medium of life we adapt the forum to fit a medium.
After all stories use to be something that were only spoken and handed down from generation to generation.
Then one day someone decided to write the words of the story down to preserve its very essence.

Thus the language evolved. 

We now had a way to look back on what has been said.
Skip ahead to the present day, we now have a new communication medium, social media.
In reality the purpose of social media is to communicate with friends, family and other constituents in a timely manner.
What use to take an hour to be communicated across the globe now takes a matter of minutes.
As a result the way we communicate has become faster and more efficient.
Thus people have taken shortcuts to get their message out in a timelier manner.
Is this right?

Or is this wrong?
If we can get the same message out but in fewer words and characters what's the harm in that?
It's a matter of acceptance and it may not ever be fully accepted in the near future.
As mankind uses words in different forums the meaning changes.
Therefore if my current generation continues to shape the language, it very may well adapt.
Whether this is for the better, or for the worst this is up for the future to decide.
