HW 1: Going Global!

After reading Dan Burstein's 12 key ideas from "From Cave Painting to Wonkette”, I would have to agree when he states that Blogging is going global. “It is not just us wild ‘n crazy, uninhibited, populist Americans who like to rant” (Burstein xxiii). After reading this, it reminded me of one of my friends who moved to England and she had really no way to communicate to us. She started a blog and told us all her new stories. We have not lost contact because of it. When searching for a blogger online I came across all sort of different languages. I found Japanese, Hindu and much more. I know that with today’s uprising in new technology, more and more people are turning to internet sources to communicate to people. People in Iraq (especially our soldiers) should have a place where they can write down thoughts. They have been writing down thoughts all over the globe for thousands of years but now with new technology, we can do it with a little more pizzazz. Where ever you are in the world you will find someone who is blogging and writing down their thoughts.
