Why Blogger?

I think blogging and blog reading is an unnecessary waste of time. Sure, it's ironic, I dislike the concept of blogging and here I am writing a blog. Why would you blog to begin with? Write your opinion online, and see if anyone reads it. Maybe it's interesting, but why not just tell people about things you feel strongly about? That's how to spread the word. I also don't believe in blog reading. Why read them? Because you don't have enough sense of self to formulate an opinion of your own, so you have to read someone else's. Because you think it's entertaining, obviously you have too much time on your hands. Do something more productive. Because you want to find out about something. Yeah, great idea and all, but there are tons of better more reliable sources to get information from. You're getting some information written by someone you don't know, someone who can write whatever they want rather than an actual reliable source. Because this class is making you read other people's blogs. That's the only reason I can actually find to read a blog. To get an A in a class. That's a great reason. Of course there are also the people who blog to get people interested in a topic that they feel strongly about, but why not actually do something about it? There's so much more to do then write a blog, but sadly blogging is the trend that has swept America lately. In France they smoke, and in America we blog.

  1. Alex, hopefully the class will provide opportunities for you to find some reasons to write more interesting and focused blog posts.
