this is my blog.

After reading “Japanese Blogger Champions Internet Democracy” Joi Ito Interview (Kline and Burstein 143-150), I came to realize how important blogging can be an easy way for every day average people to create something that can really empower people. For intense in the interview Ito says “the consumer is now become a producer, and I think this is going to have an across-the-board change in everything from music to media.” Ultimately, this is saying that through blogging people can create something that can turn them into more successful people. For example Ito says in the interview that when people comment back on his blogs he gains knowledge, when a person gains knowledge they are opening up new doors for themselves. In addition Ito also mentions how he believes that one day the internet and in turn blogging will no longer be as open as it is now. Ito explains that this would be something he would not like to see, since blogging can be really powerful to people. In conclusion I’m happy I got the chance to read this. With every passage I read about blogging it further enhances my interest in the technology I never thought about before.
