The internet is a place where we can talk freely. But it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language competence (能力) is becoming poorer.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined. They don't use complex rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and internet memes(表情包)have changed their communication habits.
For example, direct expression is the preferred way to communicate online. When one see something funny, one will simply type hahaha or use the cry-laugh emoji, Beijing Youth Daily noted.
Also, copy and paste (粘贴)" culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as whenever you disagree with each other, you.....(一言不合就....).
