Argumentative Blogging

            I’m not sure on the blogging era yet, whether it was a thing of the past or the future, I’m still undecided.  As Sullivan, Keen, and Welch have pointed out that it is a way for anyone to be someone.  The era of face book and twitter have joined on from this basic form of blogging.  Blogging was a way for someone to post to the world their thoughts, ideas and expressions of joy, happiness, and dismay.  As more and more adjusted to this verbalization by technology the pencil and pens of the world became quiet.  I do so like a good letter from a friend, or a card from a family member saying they were in thinking of me.  By the way that era has passed on now to the back of the library in the archives section.  Maybe I’m just a little old fashion and that is why I don’t get the blogging era.

 I do have a face book account.  At one time it was to burn my ex and to rub it in on how I was moving on without him. I admit that that was what it was for and nothing else.  Then I grew up a little bit and really did move on.  As I met new friends and found: or caught up, with old friends it all changed.  I found family members that I hadn’t talked to or even thought of in years.  It’s the new “write me a letter”.  We post a lot of photos of things that we do or like.  It’s ok but I still like a letter and I like to send a letter every once in awhile.  To me it just seems a little more personal.

Keen does point out that one person can wake up and be a journalist in the morning and be a movie director by noon, with a musician by midnight.  I do agree with this statement.  With the technology the way it is one person has become a “jack-of-all-trades”.  Like all things in life we adapt to what is easiest for us and what comes more natural.  There are many sayings that one could put together for this situation but I do believe that it is all just a phase and it will pass like the rest.
