It
is fascinating how technologically dependent our world has become. Technology
plays a role to getting a career because many businesses use the Internet to
interact and research with other companies. Blogging is a great way to connect
with other who has similar interests and ideas. People who have similar
interests and ideas build a community where they have a safe place of sharing
their opinions and being able to analyze and complicate a blogger’s writing in
a professional way. Blogging is an essential way of letting people express and rewording
the text in a rhetorical perspective. People that are not familiar with
blogging may mistake it as an online journal. This YouTube video illustrates
the ideas of why blogs are not considered as journals.
People
that are not familiar with the rules of blogging may mistake blogging as just
ways of reiterating something a blogger just read. One idea to take away from
blogging is to compare ideas the blogger has taken away from what they have
written about and then comment on their blog by complicating what the blogger
had wrote. Thoughts
of blogging supports the idea of how blogs have misconceptions about how
people do not use blogs in a professional manner, meaning that the usual people
replying back to their blog posts are initially just people friends with the
blogger. Ideally, the main ideas this author of this blog points out is the
idea of what standards should be met when writing a blog.
Blogging
is a way opening doors to new opportunities based on the field a person is
studying. For me, blogging would be a great way of connecting with bloggers who
have similar interests with medicine and what people outside of the medicine
community think about certain ideas. A lot of times, we hear the word community
when it comes to blogs. The great thing about blogging is that we can create or
join a community based upon personal interest. Bloggers are able to share and
relate their ideas to each other. With me, this would be a great way of exploring the world of
medicine because many doctors and researchers blog about finding new methods to
improve people’s lives. it is fascinating to know that we are in touch with bloggers
around the world. We, as bloggers, are able to create a guide to in order to
have a successful blogging career. It is not just great for people in the medical field (although I
think it is very beneficial), but it great for people who want to go into the
field of business, marketing, fashion, or even art.
As a first time blogger, blogging was a difficult
thing to grasp. It is hard to tell where bloggers get their sources. Since the
Internet is so easily accessible, people who are new at blogging are prone to
plagiarize their work. Believe it or not, plagiarism is a big deal in the cyber
world. It is not the idea of just copying and pasting other people’s work, but
it is the fact of having to give credit to the person who originally wrote it. It
seems to be a bigger issue in international
places, such as Turkey and Russia.
The
idea of blogging is very essential
to the cyber world. Since our world is always changing, technology is used to
help us think about how we think more deeply on certain topics. From when I was
a little kid, I am sure research has changed. Blogging has helped evolved
peoples thoughts into conversational engagements. Consistency is the key in
order to be better bloggers and better at expanding on how we write and what we
write about.

Like what you have explained in the forth paragraph, blogging sometimes could be very tricky because some writers might created their blog for fun. They might end up copy-pasting ideas from other people and do not give them credit for that. For those people who do this, they might argued that they do that because the purpose of their blog is "for fun" anyways, so they think it is not a big deal. However, that is still a very bad thing to be done because it is not only considered as plagiarism, but those writers could be sued by the original writer for copyright disclaimer.
ReplyDeleteAnother good point that you brought up is about the difference between personal journal and a blog. Many people often get confused on what's the differences between those two writing. The difference might not be something very obvious. Blog is a continuous process of writing and reading, a blogger should be able to keep revising and adding some contents that will improve the quality of the post. On the other hand, personal journal or article is a one-time writing process meaning that in most cases a writer of a journal or article will not revise or update his/her post once they publish it.
I really do agree with you that blogging is a way of conversation. As I was doing my own blog, I ran into a lot of websites and blogs that described how blogging is a lot like a conversation. I also believe that blogging is suck a big part of our world now a day. Everytime I go on any website, regardless of what kind of website it is, there is always a space for blogging. Since blogging has slowly become more popular, I wonder what kind of long term changes this will have with writing everywhere, mostly in a school setting.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is a good way to explore into the field of work that you are interested in. I think that by creating a blog that is based on your field of work you are not own developing your own way of writing about your interest but you have that ability to interact with a similar interest as you explained. You are able to get feedback from readers on your interpretations and through the use of comments you may get advice and people may provide you with more information than you even knew about your topic. Blogging is beginning to become more and more useful as you are probably realizing now.
ReplyDeleteBlogging has definitely helped me learn more about my field of study. Writing posts on my field has forced me to constantly look up information i would have otherwise never done. Reading comments from my blog has also given me the opportunity to answer questions and listen to other's views. Overall it has enhanced my knowledge of finance.
