Also called screen sucking, this phenomenon is clearly just an opening gambit on the part of the digital panoply to take us over. Believing as we do that we are its master, as we blithely manufacture more and more sophisticated computers and robots along with their means of communication, eg, the Internet; this world is unconsciously subsuming various aspects of our everyday life until ultimately we will become its slaves. We will be its robots.

What does this have to do with language? I need a word for this process, that is, of enslavement by a widespread, vast, all-inclusive non-human, unfeeling entity; its victims being entirely unaware of what’s happening to them
