1.The rise of the social media affects language because we no longer using our knowledge to spell and spend time in a library like we use know mostly everything like newspapers, books, magazines  are just a click away making people lazy and staying home. at the end it hurts all of us in the long run because life is not a click away when we apply for jobs or encounter real life situations we cant click on that.
2. it reduces the necessity to use English language  because theirs websites that translate mostly everything so instead of people practicing English they try and look it up in their own language and read it then, pr w.e it they searching for now its easy to find it in any sore of language and in simple answers.
