As I look at my own blog, I realize that I am sorely lacking with the option of using various forms of communication to share my messages. Honestly, this isn't something that I had even considered before reading these articles. I feel like to me, I didn't consider it, because my topic hadn't called for it. I am an English major with a focus in Creative Writing. Verbal communication is the form that I am most comfortable with.
I believe this is a flaw of the blog that I have up until this point been constructing. Now that I actually think about it, I know that for everyone, this is not the form of communication that everyone is the most comfortable with. I would like to take more advantage of the options available to me in future posts, including pictures, links and diagrams where appropriate. I know that I have things available to me, I would just like to tyring to find a way to incorporate them into my topic naturally.
I believe that the ability to combine words with other types of communications is a huge strength of the Internet and other arenas. Words cannot always accurately convey an idea, an emotion or a message. Neither, on the other hand, can images. I believe that is through the joining of these two things that we can come the closest to ideal communication. I believe that like much of the technology that we have discussed in class, it should however be approached with caution. If we begin to rely to heavily on words and symbols to represent our ideas we could potentially lose the ability to express ourselves as effectively with words.
