Future Standards

I once heard that within 300 years, there would really only be 3 languages, Spanish, Chinese, and English. While I think Arabic is missing from this list, I do think we are headed towards this situation. A recent article in the Economist has revealed some truth to this theory though.

Their graph shows that there has already been significant loss of languages over the last 100 years, and there is more on its way.

As progress continues to homoginize humanity, one begins to wonder where the destruction of diversity will stop.
