To Blog Or Not to Blog... Decisions, decisions...

Prior to this assignment, I was never interested in getting myself a blog or linked to the cyber world.  I actually had to be coerced by friends to join Facebook.  This is because I was never keen on the idea of putting my thoughts and feelings out there.  And well, mostly, I was not too keen in reading about someone else's angst-ridden existence.  The whole thing, sounds a little scary to me.  

In the course of this assignment, I came to realise that blogging is not what I had thought it was.  It is definitely much easier than I had imagined.  It carries so much potential, it is a fountain of knowledge waiting to be tapped.  Eventually, I came to learn a great deal about how the media environment changed within the span of 10 years - from the early creation of internet, to the addition of new pages, and to new media.   

A blog, to me, no longer means a collection of mundane, dispirited comments and experiences from friends, but rather, a collection of information from all over.  People who have a stand, a voice, an adventurous spirit, believes in sharing and receiving in return and do not believe in boundaries when it comes to communication.
