Week 1 Workshop Reflection – What blog is ?

In week 1’s workshop, we’ve talked about what blog is? Blog is not like dairy, it should show to the public. And it is also very useful in our daily life. Although a lot of us may not use it before.

As a kind of most avant-garde stuff in modern information society,blog is appealing to an increasing number of people.To my mind,however,the matter should be observed dialectically due to its particularity and complexity. Blog undeniably wields numerous merits.It in the first place serves as an effective means of communication,through which blog users are able to vent their spleens and share their various feelings with each other.Secondly,blog proves to be a terrific platform.for learning.By updating one’s blog pages and browsing others’,one thus has instant access to a wide range of cyber materials and may keep him-/herself informed of the most current events and knowledge. While taking blog browsing and bruiting for granted,we should not overlook its downsides—a problem inevitably confronting nearly every issue of controversy.Inasmuch as blog is a public medium that denies nearly no admission,one’s privacy is hereby easily subject to potential infringements.A more severe problem than this is that the current blog pages on the web are rife with worthless or even detrimental things,say,fraudulent advertising,hype,personal attack,pornography and violence,or even reactionary propagation.
Weighing the above discussed,i believe that,despite the many shortcomings it possesses,blog basically turns out to be a favourable thing,and would be more so provided supervision from both the public and the government is imposed upon it and self-discipline within the blog users is strengthened.
