Cuckoo 1/22

Tuesday discussion was interesting, it amazes me how much our language has changed. We have gone from using words, to slang, to now signs. Our generations have sayings that our parents wouldn’t even understand. Saying such as I just wrote on your wall, facebooked you, tagged you, or friended you would have no meaning to our parents. Yet, they had sayings that have disappeared. Not only has language changed, but also how we are able to identify so many things by their logo. The idea that such a small sign or symbol can have so much meaning in our society today. One of the examples that Dr. Rog used in class was the gas station Exxon symbol. When we are driving and look up and see the Exxon logo we understand that it is a gas station that is usually attached with a convenient store attached and in some cases a car wash. A simple logo signifies so much. Such larger corporations do not have to give their customers a list of words to tell them what they have to offer; just a simple logo will suffice. Designer jeans show how we are able to look at the pocket of a pair of pants and tell who makes them. Not only are we able to identify a certain products by their logo, but by songs as well.
