Our first day blogging! I've done something similar with xanga--I think you'd call that a blog. Still, this is pretty cool, I guess. I don't know how I feel about people reading my postings ... I'm such a perfectionist; if I think too much about people reading this, I won't write anything.
Besides, I have a journal of my own, and sometimes I feel like we spend too much time on the computer, what with facebook and email and instant messaging, along with random surfing, listening to itunes, playing games. And I'm not on the computer nearly as much as some people I know. Where do we draw the line? How much is too much? And what seems like too much today might be the bare minimum in the future, with the way that technology is going. So much can be done with the computer. I guess we should embrace it and be glad, but I would hate to think that we would sacrifice other things to more and more time spent on the computer. What about practicing good handwriting, or the satisfying feeling of drafting a paper with a pen and pad of paper? Or taking the time to sit down and write a letter to a friend, despite the ease with which we can shoot off an email within seconds. Isn't there a value there that we lose if we never take the time to practice it?
