Through the course of this whole blogging process that has begun to take place in my English 105 class, I will not be so bold as to say that I have greatly changed the way I think about things, but I can honestly say that I have been enlightened on a few different things. First and foremost, I have been exposed to blogging for the first time, and I have to say that it is more “fun” than I thought it would be. I like the idea of putting your own ideas out there for anyone to see and comment on. Secondly, I have been able to see my other classmates’ opinions on certain topics, and I have found out that there are multiple sides to an issue, and both sides can make valid points. Just because one side of an issue makes one good point, it doesn’t mean that that side is right. Through the course of this blogging process, I have come to realize that in most cases, both sides of an issue are usually “right,” based on how you look at the situation. Thirdly, I have had a new awareness of how some professionals look at how the internet is affecting our society. Most of the articles that we read were based on the internet and the fact that technology is making people lazy. I am not saying that I agree that the internet is increasing illiteracy in our society, but rather, I am saying that I have learned other people’s views on certain issues.
Surprisingly, I have not been faced with very much difficulty in writing these blog posts. Before, I am sure that I would have felt that it would be a pain to write these posts, but once I sat down to write responses to the articles, the words seemed to just flow out onto the screen. Most of the difficulty was in writing truly how I felt, knowing that my other classmates were going to read it. Sometimes, I was apprehensive to write the exact thoughts that were in my head, and I would try to find ways to twist my words in order to say my thoughts without thinking I would offend someone. Overall, I feel that I expressed what I needed to say, and I am glad that I am being exposed to writing blog posts.
