I am a blogger. This addiction started when I attended the annual STI National Youth Convention last January 2009. One of the convention speakers was Spanky "Manila Boy" Enriquez who discussed the topic "Create, Connect, Communicate". Specifically, he highlighted the concept of blogging as a medium of human expression and a social marketing tool; Blogging as a new online platform in connecting, communicating and influencing the world.
In today's modern world, we are living in a different community – a global village. Reaching this global village requires the exploitation of the benefits of Information Technology. Blogging as one of which brings us to a whole new level of connecting, communicating and influencing the world.
Blogs are excellent source connecting, communicating and influencing the world. Blogs present writing outputs with careful, considerate thought and generous references to source material and other perspectives. Blogs also provide perspectives through a forum for others to think and comment, building a community of ideas and provocative thought. These little voices can actually stir emotions, spark personal revolution, influence decision makings, or even shift someone's paradigm.
Thus as bloggers, we are the new legislators of the world, the modern literati, and as such, we are given the responsibility to nourish the world with new knowledge drawn from experiential learning activities and undertakings we have through constant interactions and observations with the rest of the human creations. Just remember that blogging is always a personal choice, an embraced responsibility, a commitment and a promise to make the world better for humanity.
