Blogging's important role in society

Personally, for me, blogging has been the most fun as well as best learning experience throughout the semester. This is because I was able to speak about my ideas and beliefs through mass communication. First, I'd like to acknowledge what blogging has meant and has done for society in the 21st century. The internet in general has changed society drastically and continues to do so on a daily basis because people are expressing themselves and interacting themselves with others through a computer monitor. A Worldwide Web filled with endless things to do, look at, and participate in. Blogging has come about in this age as one of those activities to interact and participate in.

Blogging has made it so that instead of spreading ideas on telephone polls or in person, people can rather express themselves online to an even greater platform of people. Blogging is the use to exercise First Amendment rights in an effective and efficient way while all at the same time connecting to an ever-growing database of people. Blogging allows individuals to communicate thoughts internationally, something people could not easily do before the use of internet and especially worldwide blogging. Blogging has paved the way for expediting the way things should be done in society. If activists in the past, like MLK Jr., had internet and blogging as a resource then his ideas would have rapidly caught on fire spreading around the U.S. and especially the world in a much more prolific manner, perhaps even getting what he wanted to achieve done faster. Blogging has truly made First Amendment rights easier because people can even anonymously or openly blog their feelings without retribution or consequence, which advocates for one of the main points of the First Amendment: Freedom of Speech.
