Blogging

Today I read an article that discussed the many changes technology has had on the world. It talked about great technological advances from the printing press up to the modern day printing press, the World Wide Web. This fascinates me to see how much technology has advanced, especially in the last 30 years. I feel it is important that people have the opportunity to research, learn, and express any information they want to. Through websites such as Google, we now have the opportunity to do that. In my opinion, this makes for a more learned and understanding society. Even after the printing press was invented printing was still only limited to scholars and those with money. We have obviously expanded from that elitist circle (hopefully we continue to expand) and now even the littlest, most unimportant people, such as me, can write and have stuff read by the whole world because of technology, even if it is just a blog.
