Blogging...what's this?

Hi pals,

This writing of mine again comes after a long break, reasons are many but none too obvious than my laziness to write. I kept finding excuses, some valid and some not, of not to write.
Nevertheless I am back hopefully with a bang. Let’s get to the point straightway. Today I had some topic in my mind before I logged in to my blog but all of a something struck my mind and that is what the title says “Why do we blog”. This question is pretty obvious for those who wish to start writing a blog.
So let me begin with some history. So where this word does actually came from? Simple answer is the word “blog” is derived from another word “WEBLOG”. A name suggested by Jorn Barger. As the name suggests it mean logging something on Web. Soon people starting logging in some information on the web just to make sure it stays forever and also to communicate. Thus we can see “WEBLOG” or “Internet Diary” as some people used to call it became a natural substitute of Diary Entries. Somebody rightly used weblog as a “WE BLOG”. Soon the word “Blog” became a noun and a verb and what not. Moving on the idea spread like a jungle fire and aptly the innovation leader “Google Inc” made a great move by purchasing a website Blogger.com thus making it easier for people with normal gmail account to start writing blog. There are many other important aspects of blog but what those are not the intent of this very blog.
What I wanted to discuss here is how and why did this craze of writing caught up with the advent of the new millennium. The first and foremost reason I find is that a blog has given humankind what it had been longing for since long and that is “ right of unbridled expression of thoughts”. Although Democracy as a form of government is wide prevalent in the world but still there are many nations which are not democratic in true sense. Thus a blog becomes the best way to vent out their ideas.
Writing as a form of expression has a long history. It is actually so long back that it is still not quite evident that what form of communication did human beings learn first “Was it writing of speaking” . There are evidences in support of both of these forms of communication. Whatever be the correct answer to this question one thing pretty clear that writing has a long history and has played an extraordinary crucial rule in the development of the man,
Thus taking in account the above two factors it comes quite evident that how much a writing exercise will be liked by most of us. There are other very trivial factors at play but I personally find these two inherently strong factors to sufficient explain the reason behind the plethora of blog we see now, some really useful some not quite. But nonetheless, this “blog inundation” has truly been a new transition phase in the world history and I guess this is should go along way in shaping our world future.
