To be honest I did not realize how easy it was to create a blog. It was as easy as creating a Facebook page, which means anyone with basic Internet knowledge could make his or her own blog. The simplicity of blog-making made me realize how easy it is for someone to put information on the Web as well as for someone else to read it. I am amazed how quickly information is passed around in this technology dependant era. Anyone can write news on the Internet and pretend it is real just as another person can read an article or blog and think that it is the truth. I know understand why in every year in high school my teachers stressed the importance of using reliable sources. There is so much information on the Web and one has to be especially careful while researching for school. Another scary thought about the easiness of posting information on the Web is that there are so many different opinions about certain topics. There are so many opinions out there that I wonder how difficult it is to think about and come up with new ideas. I believe it is becoming increasingly difficult to be original and creative in this decade where information is passed around so quickly online. I’m not sure how I feel about joining this growing trend of publishing my thoughts and opinions on the Web for other people to read. For me, writing is personal and I don’t love to share it with people. With Facebook, blogs, and Twitter the lines of people’s privacy are extremely blurred. When will it be too much? Will it ever stop or even slow down?
