Do blogs run the threat of replacing conventional media?
No. That was my opinion before reading "the epistemology of blogging" and after boring myself to tears trying to take in the intellectual words of a man with a love of rambling with crap my opinion remains no.
This radio interview brings up no real issue other then the depth of the unnecessary thoughts of Australia’s brains. How stupid do they think the world is? Sure, the people of today aren’t geniuses. But I think it is pretty well known that you don’t pay too much attention to what you read on the internet, and the amount of people that do are far too insignificant a number to affect the existence of conventional news.
Next point, these days so many people spend their day at a computer screen - even a check out chick spends the day staring into a computer screen of sorts. How many people really want to come home and read copious amounts of nonsense from bloggers? They watch the news whilst cooking dinner, and that’s something people have done for a long time.
These days the world is down to trying to simplify everything, they want it as to the point and quickly as possible, so a threat of blogs full of opinion pieces really doesn’t seem to be a likely threat to that of conventional news. If by some chance it does, who cares? If it becomes dominant enough to take over then obviously everyone is going to think it’s just great at the time, so putting depthy thought into the matter now is unnecessary.
I always knew there was a good reason as to why I don’t waste my time listening to things like that, now I’m reminded why. There are much better things to do.
