Don't we want our faculty to think out what they have to say and say it such a way that it is concise and presentable to all involved? The web can be both a forum and training ground for that. Of course, I'm just a student: what do I know?Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523848647906952311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099259.post-1132934681981900552005-11-25T11:04:00.000-05:002005-11-25T11:04:00.000-05:00Any new communication technology is suspect at fir...Any new communication technology is suspect at first. (Is that true? I wish I knew some people who studied communications so I could ask them.) I think blogging is going to become more accepted as people learn how to use it better - just as cell phones are now more common and more accepted. That doesn't mean that there still are not people who, for example ACCEPT CELL PHONE CALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES AT SCHOOL. (The parent in front of me this week took a call - I was stunned.) But society, in general, is learning how to adapt to the technology. I think blogging will be similar.Bob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092719932619292581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099259.post-1132933110046904382005-11-25T10:38:00.000-05:002005-11-25T10:38:00.000-05:00Mark, I understand your reasons for anonymity, but...Mark, I understand your reasons for anonymity, but that doesn't really solve the problem for me - I want my friends to be able to find me, I want my ideas and my writing out there and connected with my name and my identity. I guess I'm putting a lot of eggs in the blogging basket, but I think it could be a positive thing in the end.bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163733354894909762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099259.post-1132644442295385952005-11-22T02:27:00.000-05:002005-11-22T02:27:00.000-05:00I agree that in the next five years, online person...I agree that in the next five years, online persona and blogging will be more commonly accepted, because technology will continue to grow as commonplace within society. By then the aged academic establishments will hopefully see blogging without suspicion, but as a positive thing.<BR/><BR/>That is, until Peak Oil (http://www.peakoil.org/), when all cheap mass transport becomes impossible and everybody reverts back to the farming communities from which we came, and Nevada and Arizona become obselete. :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412058469738359686noreply@blogger.com
