less technological and more political/economical but i think immediately of 
the rise of and contraction in length of the 'soundbite' as a piece of 
language that is supposed to say everything there is to say about a 
particular side in a media-based argument.

of course, there are those who consider the soundbite as something that 
actually fosters democracy, by forcing those who wish to gain influence to 
condense their message to a simple kernel easily understood by the masses.. 
whether this makes sense is another matter.
