The definition of a blog to me is a public online journal. I first heard of “blogging” when I got a site on Myspace which had the option for blogging. An option I don’t really use however. My entire life my mom has worked with computers and I would go to work with her when I was younger and help out on small “jobs” on the computers so I am pretty comfortable with working with computers. Usually, I spend all my time on the computer doing all sorts of things, from looking for new music, and writing to my friends out-of-town, to looking for new rodeo outfits to keep up with all the rodeo appearances I make. I really love to write and I can write my ideas down a lot faster by typing them so that’s where the computer comes in handy. I really like to just write about anyhting that comes to mind, like my unofficial little sisters, my horses or just the crazy memories I have.
I think one reason people are so concerned about kids’ saftey online is that there are a lot of creeps out there that are pretty smart with a computer and it doesnt take much to bacome a completely different person online. Thus the internet can be very dangerous unless you take the steps to make sure you don’t reveal any personnally-identifyable information. Most everyone I know has a myspace and that what a lot of kids my age are on most of the time.
I really don’t feel any different about having a blog in my Lit. class. It’s really just a way to get out ideas about things quickly so it makes it a bit easier than sitting in the classroom writing every little detail about a book on paper and turning it in.
