why do we blog?

Why do we blog? Almost everyone at some point or time in their life has written a blog, I’m doing it right now! As I sit here and type these words out I don’t how who will read it or if anyone will at all, so why do we blog? People have been blogging way before a computer was in every home or the internet was everywhere you look. Back then it just went by another name, journaling or writing in a diary. People have a need to write everything out, to put it on paper, to express themselves. With the computer and the internet it just makes it that much easier. People blog for many different reasons. There are some that use it as a diary, only wanting to get their feelings out and written down somewhere. Maybe in the hope that somewhere out there someone will read it and feel the same way or comment back with an encouraging message. Some use it as a way to get knowledge out. You can go online and find people writing down there recipe for their mama’s home cooked chili to how to use the newest and latest piece of technology. Knowledge is power and with the internet it is everywhere. Need to know what book to buy? There’s a blog for that. Need to find information on who to vote for? There’s a blog for that. Going on vacation and want to know what fun things there is to do where ever it is your going? There’s a blog for that! You can find a blog about anything you wish to find. In todays society we all have an opinion or something to say and we will get it out there and let people know.
