I remember the first book was about a group of adolescents who were voyaging on a colony spaceship. They didn't have parents. There was a big room that was like an outdoor wilderness type of environment. They broke into two groups and were fighting each other.
The second book was about a group of people on earth who started using a new language that helped them speak faster and think faster because it was so compressed. They could fit a whole thought or sentence into just one word.
