I've heard that someday the Internet might be made to be formatted into a single language. My computer teacher, who is an expert in information and technology, and computers; said that that they are thinking about making it the web into Spanish.....

Personally I think if they ever did make the Internet one language it should be English, because the computer, the Internet, the HTML that makes up the webpages were all made be English speaking Americans.

Do you see this a possibility for the future of the internet?

I am not being racist, I am just stating what I believe to be logical, and most of the Internet is in English anyways.

That's one of the worst idea's i've ever heard. The internet is meant to bring people together from all different countries and it helps break the language barrier with translation programs and other such things. To bring it all together into one language would stop a lot of people from doing what they usually do.
And why would they make it Spanish? Sure, Spanish is a popular language, but the majority of people that use the net speak, read, and write english.
I think the internet should be left how it is. However, if it had to be brought together into one language, english would be the smartest choice, so that's what I voted for.

If this EVER happen... That idea is one of the worst ideas i ever saw... my, ppl should think on other more interesting things. the web must stay as it is and period.
And Spanish? My, that was going to make the idea EVEN worse.
Gee... Forcing things won't help a bit.
I'm with Dark_Urd.

I think that each language is beautiful in own way. That's why it'll be right to leave the Internet as it now or to create something like a official language-mix for the Internet.
