Linguistic change in Spanish
language by the impact of social networks.
Nowadays the impact of the social networks and the new technologies
affect the language, especially in young's between 13 to 16 years old.
Young people write without thinking of grammar rules, and they invent
abbreviated words and new phrases to communicate among themselves.
These are real examples of a young girl of 14 year old:

The objective of this work is to recognize the changes on the new
generations in the Spanish language; other objective is to understand new
words, phrases and contractions of the words between the young people but
mostly to know if it is true that the impact of social networking is affecting
the grammar.
Social networks play an important role in determining
the dynamics and outcome of language change[1]
Facebook
has opened the door to shorthand typing, abbreviations, emoticons and text
lingo. Those messages include many grammar and spelling errors posted
across profiles for everyone to see.
It's
a daily ritual for many of us. You log onto Facebook, change your
status, comment on others' and, then, you see them! Those mistakes!
A missing apostrophe here,
a misspelled word there and the misuse of homophones everywhere! [2]

I think these changes are just deformations of
language that have been subject to time.
I believe that young
people use such words or phrases to enter
the social circle that develops in these social networks.
