Question 1: Role of media in future development of English language
Answer:

Radio and motion pictures vs. telephone. Such additions to the vocabulary depend more upon the degree to which the discovery or invention enters into the life of the community. The same principle might be illustrated by film, radio, and television. Cinema and moving picture (1899), screen, reel, film, scenario, projector, close-up, fade-out are now common, and although the popularity of 3-D as a cinematic effect was short lived, the word is still used.

Broadcast (itself), aerial, antenna, lead-in, loudspeaker, stand by, and solid-state etc. Words like microphone, and transmitter have acquired special meanings.

There were also new meanings of read, write, mouse, terminal, chip, network, workstation, windows, and virus.
