You may have noticed some changes on my blog, in the left column. I added a gadget so I could add links and I adding each of your blogs as a link. So it's becoming more link one-stop shopping. Of course, while all these gadgets are intriguing, and useful in their proper place, a blogger should never let the gadgets dominate the energy.
I hold before us again, that blogging can offer us an opportunity for deep discussions, and for advancing knowledge of an extended period of time. (Spelling is certainly an issue in blogging that not required in talking.) Actually in this case, that is one reason for adding the linking, that I can focus on the discussion and not wonder randomly around the web looking for you. You may consider this gadget too as you become more cofortable in this new world.

I am definitely considering this gadget. Hopefully we'll learn a little more about it in class. It's certainly sobering to think that you're up on everything and then suddenly learn about something that you didn't even know existed and everyone else is using.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that is another way that blogs have changed society: the idea that one search engine or blog should be a one-stop shop. And we (contemporary bloggers and blog readers) have such a sense of entitlement. We feel that we should have a one-stop shop and we guard our time fiercely. We are told that our time is precious and, thus, we should have everything come to us.
I had an interesting conversation this morning with my mother, an English professor at Clark College in Vancouver, WA. She says that so many of her students send her emails with atrocious misspellings. They do this even though most email servers how have a spell check. Are people too lazy to make these corrections or do they feel that email is not a worthy enough medium to merit correct spelling?
