On Acronyms and the Future

When I was a little girl, a long long time ago, we used a few acronyms like FBI, CIA, NASA, SAC, TAC, NATO. Most acronyms had their origins in government agencies. Today there is a website devoted to acronyms, broken down into IT (information Technology), Military and Government, Business and Finance, Science and Medicine, Organizations and Schools, and Slang and Pop Culture. It's like speaking another language. {http://www.acronymfinder.com/} Soon, language will be obsolete, replaced with thought transfer via computer, and writing will be unnecessary as all our thoughts can be archived on small chips. Looks like the authors of all those SciFi (science fiction) books I read, back in the "good old days" when there were no e-readers, were right! Here's an excerpt from George Orwell's book "Nineteen Eighty Four" (1984) published in 1949.

"Winston Smith: How's the Newspeak Committee?
Syme: Working overtime. Plusbig waste is in adjectives. Plusbig waste is timing the language to scientific advance.
Winston Smith: ...yes.
Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick.
[illustrates thickness with fingers]
Syme: The 11th Edition will be that
[narrows fingers]
Syme: thick.
Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect?
Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here
[the larynx]
Syme: , not from here
[the brain]
Syme: .
Tillotson's Friend: [leans over from another table] Excuse me for intruding. But what you're saying is that we should be rid of the last vestiges of Goldsteinism when the language has been cleaned. I couldn't be more in agreement with you, brother."
