HW 5b: I think, Therefore I Am

Before I begin may I state that I do not deny the fact that blogging has become a new easy and accessible form of publishing and communicating ideas and arguments that has vastly changed our society. As David Kline expresses in "I Blog, Therefore I am" all other sources of media in which we have relied on for many years, will soon be diminished with the constant growth of blogging. This I find hard to believe. Though the number of households that read the newspaper daily is decreasing annually, does not give support to say that we will soon see the end to this form of media. We live in a constantly growing and on the rise time period, which emphasizes the fact that new forms of technology and information will soon be processed into our daily lives. People who care about what is going on around them, will continue to read the newspaper daily, while others may find these new advantages, like blogging, as a benefit and better assistance. Blogging is simply receiving the information that they discuss, argue, and contemplate through other larger more commonly used media. Without the mainstream media providing us with these updates from around the world, blogging would not be able to publish their ideas and opinions online, because that is their source of information. Not everyone can relate to blogging, or have as much passion for blogging such as political leaders and followers do. I can not see basic forms of media in which we all have relied on for so many years to be cut off and eliminated just because of blogging.
