Blog #9

After doing extensive blogging this semester, I can understand the positive and negative  qualities that are associated with it. I do believe that blogging as an impact on our society because everyone and anyone can upload their personal thoughts, opinions and ideas on the web. Creating an online journal that is accessible to anyone who dares to view. The positive aspects of blogging is that it's extremely easy to use and mostly anyone could do it. Allowing  people to openly share with the world anything they want to with tremendous diversity, and also allows them to be extremely interactive on cyberspace. One the contrary,the negative aspects of blogging go hand in hand with the ability that anyone can blog. Since anyone can upload what they want on the web, it allows the bloggers to use propaganda or other tactics of mind play with the viewer. Another problem is that blogs are usually never censored and or mostly unfiltered, meaning that if anyone can blog than anyone can be the viewer. This can have huge ramifications including problems on the web such as cyberspace wars that could include politicians, police and other authority figures. I do believe that blogging is going to continue to grow because we are in the digital age, where we are moving away from old techniques such as analog and moving towards new methods of communication and how we view the world. So this could be a problem for anyone being able to publish, for example the South Carolina Gov. vs. Nikki Haley showed us how serious people take the information on the web and how dangerous harmful gossip and jokes can mean.  The impact on our society, could mean could things environmentally because we wouldn't be using so much from paper supplies but what this could also mean economically with job loses and also socially with people becoming more and more desensitized to human interaction and more living in the digital/ internet world.
