are we going to loose are ablity to speak?

I was having a conversation with a lady at church yesterday and she said that a study had been done that most two year old had held a electronic device of some sort.   It got me wondering aloud if our child will continue to communicate the way we do in the future....with spoken word?   Then that worried me that we could evolve into beings that could loose the ability to speak and sing....that makes me so sad
