This blog was just for a computer class homework assignment. It sounded interesting to do but at the same time I was also thinking "People still blog?!". So many people have their cellphones glued to their hips (I am one of them!) and have email and web browsers on them too (not me though) and little netbooks. Everyone is into instant gratification and instant this or that. Nobody just "stops to smell the roses" anymore. So for people to actually sit on a computer for however amount of time it takes to type their blog post seemed odd to me. Why waste your time typing something that might only be read by yourself? But I realized it doesn't matter who reads it but its the fact that there's a chance to be heard. A chance for you to voice your opinions. Maybe even a chance to change the world!.....Ok OK maybe that's a little drastic but you get the point.
What made me think of all this? Well it started the past day and a half. First, in my english class the other day we read this poem by Tony Hogland called America. And that was a real eye opener. Then today in my computer class we were asked to do the blog and I actually like it now. I think I might actually keep up with it. :) I mean I already have 4 posts! lol
