Brave new (e)world
It makes me feel a bit left behind when I read that fifth-graders and a great deal of academics and students use blogs in their education. The academic use of my blog is not exactly worth mentioning.
And it makes me fell a bit old too. I had graduated from high school before I ever experienced the internet. I got my first email address when I started at the university. And I only got internet at home after I got my BA. And some time after that I got a blog.
The (e)world move a bit fast for an old geezer like me. 10 years ago virtually nobody was online, today 8 million people have created blogs - and some get fired for having one.
In some point in the near future I feel the urge make a real academic, serious blog. There are some some good ones out there who mainly sticks with the academic stuff. Not a lot on livejournal though. Maybe it's because the spell check protest when you write "blog". Or maybe because it seems livejournal has the nickname teenangst.com. Someone should have mentioned that to me before I signed up at the high age of the 26 or something.
