Blogging...

Blogging.... The high def term for keeping a diary in essence... But now its all out there, in public. So how on earth can a little brother tease her sis or use it as ransom to convince mom jointly for a new bike.... How things have changed....

I often wonder how great men of yesterday would have utilized technology to their advantage, and how it would changed the course of history.

In the US, we have our Federalist Papers which basically were a bunch of articles in support of ratifying the Constitution... This was done individually by a few men. Today, its a great source to further understand the intricacies of the Constitution. However, what if Hamilton or Madison had 'blogged' their viewpoints and perspectives? What if others joined in, sharing their own respective feedback and thoughts? How further defined or detailed would the Constitution be, if at all? How would it have changed the course of history?

Would King have been able to create an early and more inspiring spark movement with the Civil Rights movement; would Gandhi had been able to rattle the British even earlier and created a more robust nation?

Or would it have worked against them?

Its interesting to see how news today does not alone come from the big corporations, sponsors, or 'paid' professionals. It also comes from regular people, like you and I, making the news more current, lively and pertinent to the world we live in. Blogging has if anything else, made the world an even smaller place to be in.... and a more connected place than ever....
