It all boils down to one major difference between classic media such as radio and newspapers. In radio there are announcers and listeners, newspapers speak of writers and readers, but on the Internet the writer is the speaker. At least he or she has the potential to be one. A language is the product of the combination of all the people who speak it. Everybody can have a say, can use it to state their opinions, pursue a subject or express their emotions.
Language is open.
It will never cease to develop, as long as there are people speak it, and keep it alive. In practice, the power again lies in the hands of a small class. Wealthy publishers have been replaced by brainy hackers, the ones who know how to operate a computer and make things work for them. We find ourselves at a fork in the road.
