Digital technology revolutionizes many of the ways we receive and use information every day. The availability of online resources has changed everything from hunting for a new house to reading the newspaper to purchasing plane tickets, and as a result has disrupted established structures (such as the real estate, news, and airline businesses). Telecommuting has become widespread. (copied) Speaking and Listening are critical skills in learning English. However the widespread of many devices that are functioned by writing affected these two skills greatly.
Are you talking about the "internet dialect"? If so, then I would say yes, it disturbs the acquisition of proper language.
But if you are referring technology used to communicate, I would say it is a blessing. It increases the contact with the language and the access to it.
technology can be helpful but it can also be detrimental to learning a language. I used to teach English classes to non-english speakers. I found that some times translators where helpful but often times students would rely on translation software etc. and not spend enough time to actually learn the language.
No, everything can happen by well training
