English gained popularity as it was THE language of popular movies, music and then later Internet. Just like in the past you needed Latin to be able to read books and communicate with educated people around the world, today you need English. And in my eyes it's OK, we need some standardization in communication to be able to understand each-other, and English is a good practical choice as it's fairly easy to learn.
