What are the possible long term effects on language in this society?

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.

this question is not school related. refrain from asking non school or academic related questions in the future.

if you don't mind posting the paragraph so i could read it that would a lot. (;

the answer is "began" because it is a action that can be done
