“Language usage is a reflection of consciousness. Thus the future of language is connected to the ever-evolving state of human awareness.” – The Future of Language
“Thinking clearly sometimes requires unbraiding our language.” -The Ecstasy of Language
“Little of beauty has America given the world save the rude grandeur God himself stamped on her bosom; the human spirit in this new world has expressed used in vigor and ingenuity rather than in beauty.” – Sorrow Songs
The relationship between sound, technology, and language all come from the evolution of human awareness. Before language could be invented, sound were made and used to communicate before words became a popular thing. In ancient tribes, the usage of sounds were used to communicate especially through hunting and when there was an enemy nearby. Language came into play later on when those created sounds are used to sound out or spell out words that paired well with those sounds. Though language is still developing there’s no telling what sounds and words could come out of it thus adding on to what is the human dictionary.
As language continues to develop, the revolutionized concept of technology comes into play making language and sound easier to understand and communicate. Technology plays a role with sounds as new technologies are invented like GarageBand, musical instruments, and white noise machines. Technology plays a role with language with the invention of translating different languages (Google Translate), learning new languages (Rosetta Stone), and other mediums that are able to allow individuals to learn, develop, and refresh their language skills.
The three quotes that I’ve attached above all relate to the relationship between sound, technology, and language because each all have a relationship with the development of human awareness, consciousness, and desire.
