Language as the ultimate weapon.

This time, this entry will be a little different. In this case, we will talk about George Orwell's novel named 1984 and its impact that has when comparing to the actual world. 

Actually, languages are really important, that’s the way how humans communicate their ideas, and it’s really powerful. You can hide or unmask different things if you know how to use the properly words. In the novel, the language used in the book named "Newspeak", is controlled by the government, and the government use this with the objective to control people's language and their memories. In order to do this, the government make the people forget words that are not necessary, so the people get more and more ignorant and to be more manipulable in the way they think, talk and act.

With this said, this is an example of what could happen if the languages begin to disappear or to reduce. And actually, is what is happening nowadays in Mexico and in the world. Native languages are disappearing because there are few speakers of that language and/or their cultures are disappearing or changing into the mainly ones, so is very important, not for only spoken languages, also the programming languages. Is much better to learn and to create new ways to program, to just keep the well-known ones and eliminate the others. The way how any programmer solves the problems can improve if he/she look at the problem from other perspective and I think is true. When I program in C language or Java language I create lines of code in a way. But when I think about solutions in Lisp, I never think the other way. I search for another solution. That’s like a training to see things in other way and the importance to have the tools.
