My Reflection

Above: Blogging poster (source: Google.com)

Great! So what is my reflection towards blogging? To be really honest, i think blogging is a communication tool that will bring more negative approaches instead of positive ones. Why? Back then, blogging wasn't meant to be read by public. Yes, It can be access but the content of the post should not be written for the public. From my understanding of being an internet user for a decade now , blogs are suppose to be personal online diaries. Now, it had become a multimedia menace. On the contrary, Blogs can be an absolutely resourceful and beneficial tool to people. Blogs have generated many new and upcoming document publication theories such as, added hyperlinks , navigational tools will give more reading pleasure and assistance. (Walsh 2006) Secondly, users generally scan words in websites rather than reading the whole sum of text, compared to what we usually do in conventional magazines or books. (Kress & Leeuwen 2006) As a conlusion, blogs do play an important role. Heck! its already becoming a trend. Trend towards a better opinionated community? you decide.
