Blogging

I really enjoyed the movie "Julie & Julia." It was actually really good. I didn't think I would like it because I'm not a huge fan of Meryl Streep, but it was actually pretty good. I thought it was incredible.. that this girl got so much attention over just blogging. Although, I was disappointed with the end.. because they never got to meet! How lame! :P

Blogging is cool though. I've had previous blogs in the past.. but never really kept up with them. I think it would be awesome to have a career where you just blog. Maybe I'll look into it. ;) Haha. Don't really know. We'll see. Taking this class.. really makes me WANT to continue writing blogs. I just never know what to write about. Maybe.. I should figure out something I enjoy doing. Like Julie. Oh gosh. :P

People get fired from their jobs for blogging though! How ridiculous is that? One, because.. ummm.. freedom of speech? Ever heard of it? Also, why would you even write about a co-worker or boss.. if you know they could easily access your blog. Come on people, be smart.

Starting right now.. I'm gonna keep up with my blogs. I feel like writing more! :D

I wonder if anyone other than my Writing of the 21st century teacher or students in the class.. actually read this..
Hmmm.. I guess I'll never know. :)

Social networking.

Social networking is not just a fad. I thought that video was extremely interesting. I don't know why people could think it is just a fad, when it's such a huge thing that has affected so many people's lives. The one fact that I thought was insane was that if Facebook was a country, it would be the fourth largest country in the world. That's crazy. I knew that Facebook was big.. but I had no idea that it was THAT big. I also thought it was CRAZY that the amount of people following Ashton Kutcher and Ellen on Twitter was more than the population of Ireland, Norway and other countries. That is incredible. I had no idea. A lot of the facts in the video were shocking. As I was reading it I was like whoa. I think that it's sad that all of the newspapers and news on TV are losing business and viewers.. but it's obvious why they are. People can get their news so much faster via the web. And sometimes you're not even looking for the news and you hear it. You could be on Twitter, and see a trending topic, and then click it and you figure out that there was a natural disaster or that a celebrity died, or that someone is in rehab again. You get current events news and celebrity gossip by just going onto Twitter or Facebook or any other social networking sight. It's just an incredible thing to think about. And soon, newspapers and TV will be gone. You can do it all online. I don't think social networking is a fad at all. I think that it's going to stay and replace a lot of different things in our lives and make them more efficient. And it's wonderful, in my opinion. :D That's just my thoughts on it. :)
