No More Blogging?

In this blog titled, “What If We Couldn’t Blog Anymore!?” by Brian Crosby, Crosby explained that blogging in school is an essential part in learning how to write better and become great thinkers. He says that if we couldn’t blog anymore we would become less educated in writing and thinking for ourselves.

While reading Crosby’s blog a question came to my mind, “How would this affect us?” It would affect us by crippling our advantage to better our writing and thinking skills. I’m not saying that we wouldn’t become great writers without it; I’m saying that without blogging we would lose an advantage that would really help us better our writing and thinking techniques. For example, in class we are doing PLN responses. If that technique was taken away then we wouldn’t have the advantage to connect with people all around the world and we wouldn’t have the ability to get involved with discussions and better our writing and thinking sills. All around the world people are blogging and interacting with other people around the globe. If blogging was exiled from the internet then we all would have one less advantage to help us become outstanding writers and thinkers.

While writing this response another question came up, “How would this change people’s lives?” I believe this would change many lives by exiling a big part of people’s lives. Like I said, many people love blogging and for many other people blogging is apart of their daily life style. If we were to take blogging away a lot of people are going to be upset and angry. For some people if blogging were banned, it would hurt their life style especially if blogging was a big role in those people’s lives. That is why blogging shouldn’t be banned. If we ban blogging all we are doing is taking away a huge advantage that we could use to help better our diction and better our writing and thinking techniques. That is what I believe would happen if blogging were exiled.
