our thoughts on blogging

While we were having meeting, we chat and shared what we have found so far. What we discovered and the blogging atmosphere in our own country.

As our survey positively responded that communication through technology is not a great harm to relationship with parents but it has somehow decreased the time we spent together with them physically or chatting face to face. Living abroad is a disadvantage as we have no choice and telephone/computeres are the one only source that we depend on to updates them on our lives here. From my experience, I feel that I appreaciate my family more in the sense that I realise how much I miss them. Sometimes we never know what is important to us until we feel their absence.

On the other hand, blogging has seem to be addiction to some teenagers and also adults. Regardless on how tired they are after work, they would spend some time ranting about what they did or what they are stressing on with work. We could say it is like a therapy for them when they spill their thoughts and worry in words. As I know, blogs have a function that protects your privacy and you could select who you want to view your blog. Therefore they need not worry if a stranger from elsewhere is stalking on them.

The other issue we discussed about is that blogging has inevitably cause the lack of subject to share when we meet our family or friends face to face for they have already know what happened and the details of it. Also, we believe that speaking and typing has a huge difference in delivering our thoughts to others. Although it seems to be similar but when it is put to action, the difference is there because we believe speaking is harder than typing. If one is so used to typing, they would feel uncomfortable talking with people face to face and we think that it is not beneficial as it might affect our presentation skills in work.
