"A cartoon in this morning's paper speaks to your project. It is titled "Zits." The teenage boy and his parents are having dinner. The father says, "Here's something funny that happened at the office today...." The teenage son interupts, "DAD! STOP!" Then the son says, "Okay, never mind. None of my business. Sorry. Do whatever you want." Dad asks, "What was that all about?" The son explains......"I just hate to see a person waste perfectly good blog material by describing his life experiences out loud."
This is the expectation of what one will read on blogs.....a person's daily life.......not news, not philosophical thoughts, not anything of any real value.......just what another person is doing which may or may not be of any interest to anyone else."

Reading as an activity is intertwined with mental activity. It directs thoughts, creates mental images, developes argument, offers departures to context, explains constructions of the inexplicable...in other words - Reading offers people the language of perception/misperception, communication/silence, understanding/misunderstanding... with such effects, and on a broader scale, it formulates 'being'. Instead of considering simply the content (of news say...) which disregards the media, it may still be important to evaluate if people use the internet as an extension or if the internet makes people 'but mere extension'. The consequences are more than philosophical, they are intertwined with energy use, social activities, spread of information... and ultimately how society circulates/progresses.
