I do not come from a typical writing or journalist background; I am not interested much in some of the necessary components required for many other writing students, but what I do enjoy is research. Researching a topic or an event in history, allows me a decent amount of freedom when writing about the said topic, as well as providing me with a knowledge about something that I may have previously not known much about. It is learning along with loving.
Creating this blog may allow me to explore how other people feel about researching, rather than rigid topic specifications without much room for the writer (student) to fully explore. By writing on a blog sight, it allows readers from all over the world to read what I have to say. Fifty years ago this would be unheard of with the aid of computers in today’s society. 100 years ago we were struggling to find a means of communication through audio. And only 150 years ago, what students are doing right now with this blog would have been the extreme fairytale, with unheard of imagination. Technology has been the past, and it will be the future. What should we expect in another fifty years?

Luke,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll run into some challenges, but this sounds like an interesting idea.
By the way, I think students 20 years ago couldn't even imagine what we are doing right now. I was one of those students!
