Our society today has ways to communicate with people via social media, email, texting, and messaging but blogging became an important part of communication these days that no one has ever heard of or try it before. Blogs were made for us to write about their days in real life but not only that but we wrote blogs to tell stories about events and giving readers information about them during their time.
Back in the day, journalism became all the rage when newspapers were used to give readers the scoop about what is happening in their community and in the city. Then, the radio and television industry became so popular with news on TV whether they’re local, national, or global so that we could just tune in every day and night.
In my thoughts, blogging was meant to replace journalism because according to Tony Rogers’ article entitled “Why Bloggers Can’t Replace The Work Of Professional Journalists?”, he stated “The problem with having blogs replace newspapers is that most bloggers don’t produce news stories on their own. Instead, they tend to comment on news stories already out there, stories produced by professional journalists”. The quote proved to be an interesting point that we thought we wrote blogs just to give readers stories but blogging could have problems with journalism at the time.
My next case is when blogging has a positive impact on the Internet that it gives us more time and freedom to write whatever, wherever, and whenever we want as individuals and that brings us to the next level of human communication. But why has blogging changed so much in our time? Well, it’s because of the stories we wrote and read to make our spare time more freely so we could learn what blogging has done to our society.
Microblogging differs from blogging that instead of writing blogs on blog-only sites, we, humans wrote blogs on social media that we would read them and comment on each of them to give each other feedback on any social media site but that is why Twitter is just the start of a blogging evolution in our time. But as mentioned in a study conducted by Akshay Java of the University of Maryland Baltimore County entitled, Why We Twitter: Understanding Microblogging Usage and Communities, our experience with microblogging was interesting that we have the opportunity to create stories to tell our sides so we are made to be self-efficient.
My final thought is that blogging is our specialty because we write blogs to express ourselves so we could be equal human beings thanks to this method.

Great work on this.. See, I knew you could pull it off. Twitter is interesting because some people are “addicted” to it. Can you think of another technology that turns us into addicts? Is this good for us? Was there such a device before we had digital media?
