Dead Languages and The Internet

     I think that the idea of not being able to conceive an idea or thing just because we don't have the words for a thing is completely absurd. Take the inventor of the internet, for example. I'm decently sure that they had no idea what the internet was- or could become -when they started to create it. They were able to conceive the idea before there was a word for it. 
     The idea that our language is shrinking is possibly true, I know that I don't have an extensive vocabulary, but whatever words we used a few hundred years ago we've replaced with others. For example, all the technological language we use today wouldn't have existed so long ago.
    The idea of languages dying is a bit harder to justify. For example, everyone knows that Latin is known as a "dead language". I think that the death of a language is really quite awful because its basically the death of a culture. However, the death of a language means that those who once spoke it now speak something else. This merging of cultures is also very important for enriching our lives.
