Is blogging the future of the world? No. It seems that blogging is already taking over. The Center for Information Technology Policy of Princeton University sees the internet as a useful, everyday tool now and in the years to come. The reason for this is the internet has an immediate characteristic to distribute and manipulate information. In the process, and in a few years time, the internet will change the way news media works. Indeed, a quick comparison between the traditional news media and the internet reveals a big difference: it is difficult to compete against what is free and readily available.
People nowadays would even spend their payday advances to purchase laptops or personal computers and apply for good broadband plans, instead of buying new high definition television sets. Surfing the internet gives the users so many things to do and accomplish, compared to just watching shows in front of the TV or even reading the evening paper. Looking at online sites offering news and such, the content found on these websites has grown in scope and maturity. That is why the growing popularity of these websites is visibly affecting traditional news distributors.
For example, when disasters strike or breaking news from parts of the world happen—like super typhoons in the Philippines and election protests in Iran—almost instantaneous news feed spreads all over the internet through personal blogs and websites, complete with videos and photos taken from digital cameras or even mobile phones. In a few hours, a wide and wild array of political and social commentators would also upload their messages and opinions on blog sites. Hundreds and thousands of online readers would then read and “consume” the information and they would likely add on their own comments and opinion to the content. So why pay more than a dollar for a traditional printed newspaper if one could get all the news and commentary for free online? It’s like this: getting a fast cash loan online is better than going to a loan office and using gas money and lining up for an hour—no hassles or extra fees to worry about.
Nowadays, the mainstream press acknowledges that blogging is here to stay and blog sites are serious competitors in the information dissemination industry. With a good computer or laptop and an internet connection, almost anyone can publish. A media distribution executive commented, “The cost of being a publisher dropped to almost zero with two interesting immediate results: anybody can publish and you can publish whatever you want.” That is the beauty of blogging and it is here to stay.
