Finale

For one thing I can say that my blogging experience has been a pleasant one. It was really nice to just vent about certain things or get my thoughts into print. I'm not one to share things over the internet but since I received responses back from people it made it more enjoyable because I knew that people were actually reading what I was writing and were interested. I don't think for the time being I will keep up with it but I think as I get older and facebook popularity decreases, blogs will become more popular. A final thought I'd like to think about is how as a society we have shifted to electronic writing when it seems a little more than a decade ago people weren't even bothering with emails. At a time the way to get information from one person to another was to either call them on the phone, write them a letter, or to physically go and see them. Then there was a spurt of new technology. People started buying computers, cell phones, and MP3 players. Our communication changed from letters to email and then from email to AIM. From AIM to myspace and facebook. Its an evolution of communication that the older generations never anticipated. I foresee in the future that blogs will become the new trend as the fad with facebook dies down. But I can't be 100% because these computer whiz's come out with new programs all the time. And while our form of communication has changed, communication itself has changed. Instead of calling on the phone we text them. Instead of saying "hi" to people on the street as we pass them by we remain straight faced because we have ear buds from MP3's in our ears. The main idea is that communication is lacking a personal level and now is indirect. I hear my dad yelling at me all the time to get off my phone while I'm texting my friends. But its a norm for me. I just wonder what the future holds for my children and if I'm going to be yelling at them for some currently uninvented technology?
