Techno Evolution? Does the Technologies of our time evolve the way in which we express ourselves, do they destroy classical forms?

Techno Evolution?
I would find this to be a very challenging question, can the tools we use change how we express ourselves? The most simplistic answer is yes. They do not added to what already exists but they slowly shift it away from are current equilibrium. Tools such as text messaging and VOIP have made it so phrases like TTYL OMFG NOOB, Hax, l8ter, merge into are dialect, it changes the ability to communicate and affects are social network as a society.
For me, The changes from classical means of communication may have served to make up a fairly large and contributing factor in how i perceive the world. Instead of having grown up reading about, be it in the paper or in letters, or hearing about, radio or word of mouth, I have grown up speaking to individuals all over the world.
In high school, i hung out if you could call it that with a giant conglomeration of electronic whizzes from the 4 corners of the earth. So for me the concept of England or turkey was not some distant place that you read and watched documentaries about, it was Rock and the boys trying to figure out was everyone safe after the subway bombings in London. The group i hung out with used team speak, a voip program, so when it came down to it, you would spend 4-5 hours a week hanging out with almost any of the individuals, getting a first hand perspective on almost anything from English police brutality, why the french hate the Americans, who really shot JFK, if you brought it up, you would get the global perspective, thought they might be in stinging words, from some drunken swede who could talk about kosovo because, well, he had been on the ground there.
It all changed my perspective.
Yet at the same time there is death with this change, the performer theater is no longer so well demanded, the number of musicians has fallen through the floor, few retain an ability to appreciate truly masterful paintings.
But from the decline of art forms comes beautiful new work. One of my Friends is a 3d animator who is so good at what he does that while still in college he had a job with the military making animation to project new systems, i have seen his academic work, and it is so monumentally more detailed then you could ever hope to be on canvas, and even with a medium such as stone, you cant make it move and do what you say.
