The First Therefore The Eldest

Always, I have wondered as to what purpose someone would use a “blog” - I use the word as if I know what it means. If only I had come to finding a way of creating a blog. As if it was hard. No, the process, I was sure was quite easy, so perhaps my real reason was fright. Fear is the one thing that drives the technically challenged into staying right where they are, coexisting with technology, but not really understanding it. Therefore, perhaps I have broken the bonds that hold me. Gladly, and to my surprise, I have found the experience very informative. Thus, I will try, to the best of my knowledge, to explain the relationship of a blog with society, because, though “blog” may have a definition, I haven’t a clue of what it might be.
Therefore, a “blog” is the networking of ideas and thoughts through the digitally functioning web we call the internet. Simple, right? Well, what about all the similarities among every blog ever posted? Are these similarities a fraction of copyright infringement? No. The similarities are only the necessity of society to hold some things to be true or untrue, and therefore limiting the uses of words. Thus, we begin to delve into the realm of blogging as a competitive arrangement of many similar words.
So, what have I learned from my first experience with blogging? I have come to the conclusion that, though we wish to evaluate our thoughts through the written word, the written word can only be maneuvered in so many ways, and, therefore, we are all competing, in our creation of blogs, to achieve a perfect collaboration of words to form the perfect blog. Sounds fun.
