These peculiar dictionary concepts provide a window to the advancement of language. Social media websites have revolutionized the way society speaks, proliferating abbreviations and new viral terms. Lexicons and encyclopedias have in turn tried to keep up with these fast-paced linguistic developments, continuously releasing new editions and addendum's.
Technological breakthrough have been essential to the spread of new dictionary products. Miniature USB thesaurus and online translation tools have become commonplace, further diminishing the role of paper-based publication.
These revamped new age lexicons and Internet gesture glossaries have done an excellent job of breaking down contemporary lingo, largely to the benefit of those with little exposure to pop cultural references. Digital devices have made the access to such information instantaneous, spurring a new culture of information.
