I think accents are incompatible. There can only be one.

As the world gets more and more connected what are we going to do? Are we going to all speak with an American accent?

On the contrary, I think as the world gets more connected English speakers, at least, are getting used to more different accents. And for some reason regional accents are not disappearing. It's an enjoyable sonic world.

It's such fun to converse in our rich English language with someone whose accent is different. It evokes curiosity, and curiosity is the key to a rich life--in any language.

Hollywood movies are watched all over the world and we still have accents. Even in America, there are lots of accents. They don't all speak like Hollywood Californians.

@BohoBabe they’re very similar

And we communicating more and more with the Internet

@Ferise1 I gotta disagree, the way people talk in California, New England, the South, the Midwest, New York, those all sound very different.
