The English Language = Repetiton???

Have you ever stopped to think about all the repetition there is in the world? Seriously, it is ridiculous how everything seems to repeat everything else. When I had my job last summer, every morning there was the same talk in the break room, every week was the same as the last, every month the same as the one before.
Lately, I have realized that the English language is so boring. I wish I had taken more classes when I was younger in order to learn more of a foreign language, but anyways. It seems that every book I read is all the same, just a different arrangement of words. I am astonished at the amount of books that have been written, and not only books, but college and high school papers as well. Most of us are required to turn them in online in order to be sure nothing is plagarised, but it almost seems that one day everything will be plagarised, because as far as I'm concerned, there are very few students who use an advanced level of vocabulary, meaning that we actually are using the easiest words to understand in order to write our papers. This being said, I believe that it will be incredibly improbable that our children or maybe our grandchildren will be able to come up with their own ideas in which have not been published.
I look at this as a large problem. I am worried about the future of the English language and the future of the student way of life.
Also, have you ever noticed how when reading a book, it feels like they are saying most of the same things that the other books say to you in other classes, in other fields of study? Is there a solution? To this I dont know. What I do know is that our students do not seem to be challenged enough in the current times, and that if we expect to let our children have it better off than we did, just like our parents wanted for us, then we need to expand our vocabulary and use the words that are out there to our access.
Finally, have you noticed as I have rambled on about this problem that it seems like I continue to say the same thing over and over? I did when re-reading it... Does that not strike u as odd?

ps. Finally started the new job today and stoked to work for this company! :)
