I went through my articles on the blog….I have to admit the blogging has enabled a huge community to be able to express they their hobby and pronounce their opinions. I am thankful to the blogging technology for that and thankful for the people whom I criticized for their ability to accept criticism.
It is one thing to be a critic and another to be engaged in the action. Criticism sometimes is a leisure that the criticized does not have …..He is too busy doing what he is doing, whether right or wrong….
Yet we go on bragging about his actions and doings, while he is never concerned or even read….
I always think what is it that we need to do to make blogging more engaging and effective in global opinions…the problem is the majority of the internet population are using the net in matters that either are directed by main stream media, or emails or for nefarious activities that mainly consume time.
Also the dilution of the blogging sites on the net does not allow the focusing or the effectiveness of the blog voice. We have also to remember the main stream media is more powerful especially outside the States than inside it.
This also bring on the discussion the question: is the net advocating freedom of speech?…..is it part of the globalization?….most of the autocratic governments have adjusted its operations and laws to inflict oppression on the net users, in a similar manner like that they apply in their every day life. Some of the countries follow daily activities on the net to uproot any demonstrations, gatherings, oppositions opinions….etc….they have adjusted so well and thanks to uncle Bush who was the first one that used security as a reason to invade privacy and freedom of speech…..most of the 3rd world leaders used his excuses so brilliantly to the extent that half of the bloggers and e-activists are in jails or held pending judgment. I shall abstain from giving examples that most of the readers know otherwise I shall become and e-parrot.
